Limit the amount of plantain chips you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help minimize glucose spikes.

Eat the chips alongside a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Combine the chips with healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts. These fats can help reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Add a fiber-rich food, such as chia seeds or a small salad with leafy greens, to your meal. This can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

If you're having plantain chips as a snack, consider having a piece of fruit like an apple or pear, which have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Consume plantain chips as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach to avoid sudden spikes in blood sugar.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Whenever possible, choose whole plantains over chips. Cooking them with minimal added fats and sugars can provide a more balanced option.

Check the nutritional information on packaged plantain chips to ensure there are no added sugars that could exacerbate glucose spikes.
