How to consume Poke without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the poke bowl to manage the carbohydrate intake more effectively.

Choose Brown Rice or Quinoa

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice as the base, as they have a slower release of glucose into your bloodstream.

Add Leafy Greens

Incorporate leafy greens such as spinach or kale into your poke bowl to add fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add ingredients like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, such as chia seeds or almonds. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Protein Options

Ensure that your poke bowl has a good amount of protein, such as tofu, salmon, or tuna, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Sweet Sauces

Minimize or avoid high-sugar sauces and dressings. Opt for soy sauce, ponzu, or a light vinaigrette instead.

Incorporate Beans or Lentils

Add a small portion of beans or lentils to your poke bowl to increase fiber and protein content.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, as eating slowly can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before and after your meal to aid digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Add Vinegar

A splash of vinegar, like rice vinegar, in your bowl can help moderate the glucose response.
