How to consume sweet & salty popcorn without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats in your snack. Consider adding a handful of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Portion Control

Limit the amount of popcorn you consume at one time. Consider pre-measuring your popcorn servings to avoid overeating.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

Opt for whole grain or air-popped popcorn options without added sugars or excessive salt.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating popcorn, as staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Pair your popcorn with a side of non-starchy vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, or cucumber slices, which can help balance your meal.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after consuming the popcorn to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, which can help prevent overeating.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a fiber-rich side, like a small salad with mixed greens, to your snack to aid digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming popcorn on an empty stomach. Instead, have it as part of a larger meal or after eating a balanced snack.

Consider Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your popcorn. This spice is known for its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels.
