How to consume cucumber, basil, and peanut salad, 1 serving(s) without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs into your salad to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocados or a small amount of olive oil to your salad. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Increase Fiber

Toss in some fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli. Fiber aids in slowing the digestion process and can help stabilize glucose levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the salad and pair it with other low-carb, high-fiber dishes to balance the meal.

Vinegar Dressing

Consider using a dressing with vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar. Vinegar has properties that may help in reducing post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water with your meal, as it aids in digestion and can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your salad well. This can improve digestion and help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal. Exercise can help your muscles use up some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your salad later in the meal. Starting with protein or non-starchy vegetables can help modulate the body's glucose response.
