What you eat is as important as the time at which you eat when it comes to maintaining stable glucose levels. Following a daily routine with your meals will keep your blood sugar levels from spiking and dropping. Carbohydrates have the fastest and biggest impact on your glucose levels.
Five recipes that can help optimise your glucose levels
• Breakfast: Egg and avocado salad
This healthy egg and avocado salad, loaded with proteins and healthy fats, is a favourite keto recipe.
• Lunch: Grilled chicken and Greek salad
Chicken is a perfect low-glycemic meal. Make a quick lunch that combines grilled chicken breast and Greek salad. This will ensure that your protein and fibre requirements are met.
• Mid-day Snack: Keto protein bars or herb balls
Low-fat cottage cheese is high in protein. Cheese balls mixed with herbs make an ideal mid-day snack. Alternatively, protein bars loaded with nuts are a fun an healthy mid-day snack as well!
• Dinner: Grilled fish with salad or grilled paneer with salad
Fish is a fatty and protein-rich food. Grilled fish paired with a salad for dinner keeps the blood glucose levels in check. For vegetarians, grilled paneer can serve as an alternative protein source.
• Dessert: Chocolate protein pudding
Made with vegan protein powder, this chocolate pudding is gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, and easy to make.
While these recipes can definitely keep your meals exciting, don’t forget to eat a meal every 4 to 5 hours. Eating foods that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates at the same time every day will keep your glucose level on an even keel.
