How to consume Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of hummus you consume to help manage your blood sugar response.

Pair with Protein

Combine hummus with a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey slices, to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts to your meal. This can help moderate the increase in blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair hummus with high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers, which can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Whole Grain Options

If you enjoy hummus with bread, choose whole grain or whole wheat options as they digest more slowly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating and savor each bite. Eating more slowly can improve digestion and help you recognize when you’re full, preventing overeating.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or light exercise, after meals to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming hummus to understand how it affects you personally, allowing for better management.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by focusing on your meal without distractions, which can help you be more aware of portion sizes and how your body responds to different foods.
