How to consume Hummus (Commercial), Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Combine with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair hummus and pita bread with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes. These can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Opt for Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Pita

Instead of regular pita bread, choose whole grain or whole wheat pita, which is digested more slowly due to its higher fiber content.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portions of hummus and pita bread. Smaller portions can help manage the glucose response.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts. These can further slow down digestion.

Incorporate Lean Protein

Add a lean protein source such as grilled chicken or turkey to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water with your meal, which can aid in digestion without adding extra calories or sugar.

Timing of Meals

Consider eating hummus and pita as part of a larger meal rather than alone, as the presence of other foods can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
