How to consume Mashed Potato without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of mashed potatoes you consume. Smaller portions can help limit the glucose spike.

Add Fiber

Mix in vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli with your mashed potatoes to increase fiber content, which can slow down glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, or a small amount of nuts to your meal. This can help slow down digestion and the release of glucose.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your mashed potatoes with a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to moderate the increase in blood sugar.

Opt for Sweet Potatoes

Substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes in your mash, as they tend to have a more favorable impact on blood sugar levels.

Meal Timing

Eat mashed potatoes as part of a balanced meal and avoid consuming them on an empty stomach. This can prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Acidic Foods

Pair your mashed potatoes with foods that have a slight acidity, such as a vinegar-based dressing or lemon juice, which can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after meals to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water around meal times to support optimal digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
