How to consume peanut butter and jelly sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for bread made from whole grains rather than white bread. Whole grain breads digest more slowly and can help maintain steadier blood sugar levels.

Use Natural Peanut Butter

Select peanut butter that contains only peanuts (and possibly a little salt). Natural peanut butter typically contains less sugar and fewer additives.

Add Fiber

Incorporate additional high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your sandwich. These can slow digestion and help keep glucose levels stable.

Pair with Protein

Eating your sandwich with a small serving of lean protein, such as a few slices of turkey or a hard-boiled egg, can help balance blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices to your sandwich. The healthy fats can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion size of both the peanut butter and jelly to avoid consuming excess sugars.

Choose Low-Sugar Jelly

Select jelly or jam that has no added sugar or is made from whole fruits.

Increase Vegetable Intake

Consider having a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as carrot or celery sticks, with your sandwich for added fiber.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body regulate blood sugar levels more efficiently.
