How to consume Cucumber without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Combine cucumber with a source of protein like hummus, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to help slow down glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil to your cucumber dish. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds in your meal. You can also toss cucumbers in a salad with leafy greens.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use a vinegar-based dressing on cucumber salads. The acetic acid in vinegar can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat with Whole Grains

Pair cucumbers with whole grain options like quinoa or brown rice to provide a more balanced meal.

Practice Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates in one sitting, even with low-carb foods like cucumbers.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water. Proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Mind the Timing

Consume cucumbers as part of a meal rather than a standalone snack, which can help moderate the body's glucose response.
