How to consume Red Delicious Apples without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume your apple with a source of protein such as a handful of almonds, a piece of cheese, or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like a tablespoon of natural peanut butter or some avocado slices when eating your apple. Fats can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Include additional fiber by sprinkling some chia seeds or flaxseeds over your apple slices. Fiber can slow digestion and reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Choose Smaller Portions

Opt for a smaller apple or only eat half of a larger apple to reduce the total sugar intake.

Eat Apples with Skin

Always consume the apple with its skin, as it contains fiber that can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for a Different Variety

Consider choosing a variety of apples that have a lower sugar content. For instance, Granny Smith apples are often lower in natural sugars compared to Red Delicious.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating an apple. This can help your body use the sugar more effectively and prevent spikes.

Hydrate Appropriately

Drink a glass of water with your apple. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help your body process sugars more effectively.

Track Your Responses

Keep a food diary to monitor how your body responds to eating apples and adjust your intake or pairings accordingly.

Consult a Nutritionist

If you're frequently experiencing glucose spikes, consider consulting a nutritionist for personalized advice tailored to your dietary needs and health goals.
