How to consume chicken quesadilla without glucose spikes

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Enhance your quesadilla with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, and onions to slow down glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grain Tortillas

Use whole grain or whole wheat tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas for a slower carbohydrate release.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil to your quesadilla to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the size of your quesadilla to avoid overeating and consequent glucose spikes.

Pair with a Side Salad

Serve your quesadilla with a side salad that includes leafy greens and a light vinaigrette to provide additional fiber and nutrients.

Eat Protein-Rich Sides

Complement your meal with a small portion of beans or lentils to increase protein intake without causing a rapid glucose rise.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Chew Slowly

Take your time eating and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and nutrient absorption, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Add Probiotics

Include a small serving of yogurt or kefir with your meal to introduce beneficial bacteria that can aid in digestion and potentially help in blood sugar regulation.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating large meals late in the day; try to have your quesadilla during lunch or an early dinner to allow for better glucose management.
