How to consume Fruit bowl without glucose spikes

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair your fruit bowl with a source of healthy fats or proteins, such as a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt, to help slow down digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Fiber Addition

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your fruit bowl. This can help slow the absorption of sugars from the fruit.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of high-sugar fruits in your bowl and opt for smaller portions to reduce the overall sugar load.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Focus on fruits with lower sugar content, such as berries and green apples, rather than tropical fruits like bananas and pineapple which tend to be higher in natural sugars.

Timing of Consumption

Consume the fruit bowl as part of a larger meal rather than as a standalone snack to reduce the likelihood of a spike.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before consuming your fruit bowl to help with digestion and absorption, which can moderate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating the fruit bowl to help your body utilize the sugars more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to allow your body more time to process sugars gradually.

Include Vegetables

Add in some low-sugar vegetables, such as cucumber or spinach, to your fruit bowl. This can add volume and nutrients without significantly increasing sugar content.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response to different fruit combinations and adjust accordingly to find what works best for you.
