How to consume Pancakes without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a source of protein, such as eggs, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts, with your pancakes to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Spread some almond butter or peanut butter on your pancakes or add some avocado on the side to help moderate the sugar spike.
Use Whole Grains
Opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat pancakes instead of refined flour versions to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Top with Berries
Choose toppings like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, which have a lower impact on blood sugar and provide beneficial fiber.
Limit Syrup
Reduce the amount of syrup used or replace it with a small amount of natural sweetener like stevia or a drizzle of honey.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon on your pancakes, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels.
Pair with Vegetables
Serve a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach or kale to add fiber and nutrients without increasing the sugar load.
Moderate Portion Size
Keep an eye on portion sizes to prevent overconsumption, which can lead to larger glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help regulate digestion and promote a feeling of fullness.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.
