How to consume Pancakes without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal. Consider pairing pancakes with eggs, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado, almond butter, or a sprinkle of chia seeds. These can slow down digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Opt for pancakes made with whole grain flour or add fiber-rich ingredients like flaxseeds or oats to the batter. This can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Use Natural Sweeteners Sparingly

Instead of syrup, use small amounts of natural sweeteners like fresh berries or a light drizzle of honey. These options have a less dramatic impact on blood sugar.

Watch Portion Size

Keep an eye on the portion size of your pancakes. Smaller portions can help manage the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and potentially reduce the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar levels.

Add Vinegar

Consider having a small salad with vinegar-based dressing before your meal. Vinegar can help moderate glucose levels.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help manage blood sugar levels by increasing glucose uptake by your muscles.

Choose Whole Fruits Over Juices

If you want something sweet, opt for whole fruits instead of fruit juices. Whole fruits contain fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Carbohydrate Sources

Be mindful of other carbohydrate sources in your meal to keep the overall carbohydrate content balanced and prevent excessive spikes.
