How to consume Poke without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of rice in your Poke bowl or opt for a smaller serving size to reduce carbohydrate intake.

Whole Grains

Choose brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. These options have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Include high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your bowl. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a sprinkle of chia seeds to help moderate the spike by slowing digestion.

Protein Balance

Ensure adequate protein by adding more tofu, edamame, or fish like salmon. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing, such as a light soy sauce with apple cider vinegar, instead of sweet dressings to help lower blood glucose spikes.

Swap Toppings

Replace sugary toppings like fried onions with sesame seeds or sliced almonds for extra crunch without added sugars.

Hydration

Drink water with your meal or infuse it with lemon or cucumber to stay hydrated and aid digestion.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, which can enhance digestion and prevent overeating, helping maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at regular intervals to maintain a stable blood sugar level throughout the day.
