How to consume rice cake + koala peanut butter without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the rice cake to decrease the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Combine with Protein

Add a source of protein, such as a small serving of Greek yogurt or a hard-boiled egg, to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose High-Fiber Toppings

Add a topping like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your peanut butter spread. The fiber can help slow digestion and reduce the spike.

Add Vegetables

Pair your rice cake with a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber slices or bell pepper strips, to add volume and nutrients without spiking glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating to help fill you up and possibly reduce the amount you eat.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, which can help prevent overeating.

Choose Alternative Peanut Butter

Opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils, as these can contribute to a glucose rise.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to a small salad eaten alongside your meal, as vinegar has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles utilize the glucose more effectively.
