How to consume Pancakes With Fruit without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Pancakes

Choose pancakes made from whole grain flour instead of refined white flour. Whole grains digest more slowly, helping to moderate glucose spikes.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, like a serving of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds on top of your pancakes, to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Use Fresh Berries

Top your pancakes with fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. These fruits have lower sugar content compared to other fruits and add beneficial fiber and antioxidants.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like a drizzle of almond butter or a small amount of sliced avocado. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Control Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion size of your pancakes. Smaller portions can prevent overwhelming your system with too many carbohydrates at once.

Sweeten Naturally and Moderately

If you need a sweetener, opt for a small amount of honey or maple syrup rather than processed sugars, and use it sparingly.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Beverages

Stay hydrated with water or unsweetened herbal teas. Avoid sugary drinks that can contribute to further glucose spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Sides

Include a fiber-rich side dish, such as a small portion of oatmeal or a piece of whole grain toast, to add more bulk and slow down digestion.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your pancakes or into the batter. Cinnamon is known to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Consider going for a short walk after eating to help your muscles use some of the glucose in your bloodstream, reducing the spike effect.
