How to consume Shrimp And Pasta Garden Salad without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of pasta in your salad and increase the proportion of vegetables like spinach, arugula, or lettuce.

Whole-Grain Pasta

Use whole-grain or legume-based pasta, which digest more slowly compared to regular pasta.

Fiber Boost

Add fiber-rich ingredients such as chickpeas, lentils, or black beans to slow down the digestion process.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil dressing, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to help slow glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Increase the amount of shrimp or add another lean protein source like grilled chicken or tofu, which can help balance blood sugar levels.

Vegi Mix

Incorporate more non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and broccoli to add volume and nutrients without increasing glucose levels significantly.

Acidic Dressings

Use vinegar-based dressings, like balsamic or apple cider vinegar, as the acidity can help moderate glucose spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, which may help reduce the speed of glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to help manage digestion and glucose levels.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, low-carb snack like a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese before your meal to help control hunger and reduce a spike.
