How to consume mixed salad greens, vegetable soup (home recipe) without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey, tofu, or chickpeas to your salad. This can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds (like flaxseeds or chia seeds) in your salad. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If your soup recipe includes grains, opt for whole grains like barley or quinoa instead of refined grains. They are digested more slowly and can help prevent spikes.

Include Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add more fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts to your salad and soup. Fiber slows down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinaigrette dressing with apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar which can have a moderating effect on blood sugar.

Practice Portion Control

Keep an eye on portion sizes to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once, which can contribute to a glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help keep blood sugar levels steady.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

Taking your time to chew thoroughly can aid in better digestion and absorption of nutrients, reducing the likelihood of a spike.

Incorporate Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes to your salad and soup.

Monitor Ingredient Combinations

Be mindful of combining starchy or sugary ingredients in your soup or salad, which can contribute to higher blood sugar levels.
