How to consume Rice With Peas without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of rice and peas to moderate the glucose response.
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish in your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to your dish.
Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add fiber-rich, low-carb vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or cauliflower to your meal to help balance the carbohydrate content.
Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar or a vinaigrette dressing to your rice and peas dish, as vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Pre-Meal Salad
Start your meal with a salad made from non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, and bell peppers to initiate digestion with a fiber boost.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and prevent dehydration, which can affect blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.
Whole Grains
Consider replacing white rice with whole grain options like barley or quinoa, which have slower carbohydrate absorption rates.
Cooked vs. Raw
Experiment with consuming your vegetables raw instead of cooked, as this can help maintain their fibrous structure and aid in slowing down digestion.
