How to consume Manakish without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the Manakish you consume. Smaller portions can help lower the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Sides

Pair your Manakish with high-fiber foods such as a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. This can help in moderating glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for Manakish made with whole grain or whole wheat dough if available, as they have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad or sprinkle a bit of vinegar on your Manakish to potentially reduce blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, low-carb snack like a few almonds or a slice of cheese 15-30 minutes before eating Manakish to help control blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, which can help in reducing glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.
