How to consume Plain Pancakes without glucose spikes

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a serving of healthy fats, such as a small portion of avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. This can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Choose Whole Grain or Alternative Flours

Opt for pancakes made with whole grain flour or alternatives like almond flour or oat flour, which can have a lesser impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a side of eggs or Greek yogurt, to help balance your meal and reduce spikes.

Limit Sweet Toppings

Substitute syrup with fresh or frozen berries like strawberries or blueberries to add natural sweetness without causing a large glucose spike.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion size of the pancakes you consume to avoid excessive carbohydrate intake.

Stay Active After Eating

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels efficiently.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and during your meal. Staying well-hydrated can support metabolic processes.

Add Fiber

Include fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds in your meal, which can help slow digestion and improve blood sugar control.

Opt for Natural Sweeteners

If you prefer sweet pancakes, consider using a small amount of natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.

Balance Your Meals Throughout the Day

Ensure the rest of your meals are balanced in terms of nutrients, with adequate fiber, protein, and healthy fats, to maintain overall stable blood sugar levels.
