How to consume Zucchini without glucose spikes
Pair Zucchini with Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of almonds to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a small portion of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine zucchini with fiber-rich foods such as lentils, quinoa, or chickpeas to promote gradual digestion and absorption.
Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Add a splash of vinegar or fresh lemon juice to your zucchini dishes, as acidic foods can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Include Leafy Greens
Serve zucchini with leafy greens like spinach or kale, which can help slow glucose absorption.
Eat Smaller Portions
Consider reducing the portion size of zucchini to minimize the overall impact on blood sugar levels.
Cook with Herbs and Spices
Use herbs and spices such as cinnamon or turmeric, which may help regulate blood sugar levels.
Choose Low-Sugar Sauces
If using sauces with zucchini, opt for ones low in sugar and carbs, such as pesto or a homemade tomato sauce.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during meals to aid digestion and maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
Monitor Meal Timing
Spread carbohydrate intake throughout the day to avoid large spikes at any one meal.
