How to consume Orange, Strawberries without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a protein source like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts when consuming these fruits. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Try adding avocado slices or a small serving of seeds like chia or flax. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Fiber Boost

Consider adding fiber-rich foods such as oatmeal or a small amount of bran to your fruit intake. Fiber slows digestion and can help stabilize blood sugar.

Portion Control

Keep an eye on portion sizes to ensure you're not consuming more fruit than necessary, which can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Timing Matters

Eat your fruits as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help balance the impact on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating fruits. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mix with Low-Carb Vegetables

Combine fruits with salad greens or other low-carbohydrate vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers to balance your intake.
