How to consume Churros without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

When you eat churros, try to balance them with a source of protein or healthy fats like a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Moderate Portions

Limit the number of churros you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage the body's response to sugar.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating churros. This can help your muscles use the sugar more effectively and reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water can help maintain an optimal balance in your body and support healthy glucose levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Consider having a small serving of fiber-rich foods like an apple or a handful of berries. The fiber can help slow sugar absorption.

Choose a Low-Sugar Dipping Sauce

If you dip churros in chocolate or caramel, opt for a lower-sugar version to minimize additional sugar intake.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which not only enhances enjoyment but can also lead to consuming less overall.

Space Out Your Intake

Instead of eating all your churros at once, space them out over a longer period to avoid a significant glucose spike.

Include Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your churros, as it may help with stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Monitor Regular Meals

Ensure that the meals and snacks before and after eating churros are balanced and include complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to keep overall blood sugar levels stable.
