How to consume Cucumber (With Peel), Hummus without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a lean protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken or turkey slices, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) to further balance your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating to help with digestion and maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal, chew thoroughly, and savor each bite. This can aid in better digestion and glucose control.

Add Leafy Greens

Incorporate a side of leafy greens such as spinach or kale to add fiber and nutrients that support stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion sizes of hummus, as it can be calorie-dense, even though it’s a healthier choice.

Opt for Whole-Grain Additions

If you're adding a grain-based element, choose whole-grain options like whole-grain pita or crackers to accompany your hummus and cucumber.

Incorporate Vinegar-Based Dressings

If you’re adding a dressing or dipping sauce, opt for vinegar-based options like balsamic or apple cider vinegar to help moderate glucose spikes.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a brisk walk after meals, to help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake.

Mind Meal Timing

Consider having your meal at a consistent time each day to help your body maintain steady glucose levels.
