How to consume Chia Seeds without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Combine chia seeds with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, to slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (such as almonds or walnuts) to your chia seed meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like berries or apples to increase the overall fiber content and slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you're consuming enough water when eating chia seeds, as they expand and form a gel-like substance that can help slow down digestion.

Limit Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion size of chia seeds to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once.

Combine with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair chia seeds with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or cucumber to add bulk and fiber.

Use as a Thickener

Use chia seeds as a thickener in soups or smoothies, where other low-carb ingredients are present, to help balance the meal.

Monitor Timing

Consume chia seeds with meals rather than on an empty stomach to minimize spikes in glucose levels.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal to help improve insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity to help maintain stable blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
