How to consume Falafel sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Bread

Opt for a falafel sandwich made with whole grain or whole wheat pita instead of white pita to help moderate the spike in blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers to your sandwich. These can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil in your sandwich to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add a Protein Source

Enhance your sandwich with a protein source such as grilled chicken or turkey slices to slow down carbohydrate digestion.

Portion Control

Reduce the size of your sandwich or the number of falafel balls inside to lower the overall carbohydrate content.

Eat with a Side Salad

Pair your falafel sandwich with a side salad that includes leafy greens and other non-starchy vegetables.

Hydrate with Water or Herbal Tea

Drink water or unsweetened herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary drinks to avoid additional sugar intake.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider eating your falafel sandwich with other meals to balance out the glucose response throughout the day.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly to aid in better digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Add a Squeeze of Lemon

Lemon juice can help moderate blood sugar spikes, so consider adding a squeeze to your sandwich or salad.
