How to consume Hummus without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots when eating hummus. The fiber content in these vegetables can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, reducing glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. These fats can help to moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes. Consuming a smaller amount of hummus can naturally reduce the potential for a glucose spike.

Combine with Whole Grains

If you enjoy eating hummus with bread, opt for whole grain or whole wheat pita bread. These contain complex carbohydrates that break down more slowly.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water with your meal can help regulate digestion and maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a protein source such as grilled chicken or tofu with your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Exercise

A short walk or some light physical activity after eating can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try not to consume hummus as part of a large meal. Space out your meals to give your body time to manage blood sugar levels efficiently.

Choose Low-Sugar Variants

If purchasing hummus, look for varieties that have no added sugars or make your own to control ingredients.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to how your body feels when you consume hummus and adjust your intake based on personal observations.
