How to consume Gnocchi without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of gnocchi you consume in a single serving. Smaller portions can help reduce the overall glucose response.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu with your meal. Protein can slow down carbohydrate absorption and reduce glucose spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a handful of nuts. Fats can help moderate the digestion of carbohydrates and prevent spikes.

Increase Fiber Intake

Include fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers alongside your gnocchi. Fiber can slow down carbohydrate metabolism and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Options

If available, opt for gnocchi made from whole grains or those with added fiber to slow down glucose absorption.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can help regulate the digestive process and manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Hydration

Ensure you're well-hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal. Good hydration supports overall digestion and metabolic processes.

Incorporate Vinegar

Adding a splash of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, to your dish can help reduce glucose spikes by improving insulin sensitivity.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help your muscles use the glucose in your bloodstream.

Consistent Eating Schedule

Maintain regular meal times to help regulate your body’s insulin response and metabolism, potentially reducing glucose spikes.
