Plant-Based Milk
One unsuspecting food that can raise blood sugar levels is plant-based milk. While it is a healthier alternative to cow’s milk, many brands contain added sugars and artificial flavors, which can cause blood sugar spikes. It is essential to read the labels and choose unsweetened and unflavored varieties.
Pasta
Pasta is another typical food that can elevate blood sugar levels. Pasta, especially white flour pasta, is rich in carbohydrates, which break down into glucose in the body. This results in a spike in blood sugar levels. Instead, opt for whole-grain pasta, which is high in fiber and slower to digest.
Sprouted Oat Granola
Granola is often a go-to breakfast or snack for health-conscious individuals, but not all granolas are created equal. Sprouted oat granolas, in particular, often contain added sweeteners that can increase blood sugar levels. It is crucial to look for low-sugar and low-carbohydrate options.
Organic Buckwheat Flour
Like pasta, many flours are high in carbohydrates that can spike blood sugar levels. Organic buckwheat flour, in particular, is notoriously high in carbohydrates. Instead, try almond flour or coconut flour, which are lower in carbohydrates.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has become a trend in the health industry, with many claiming it can lower blood sugar levels. However, it is essential to note that it can also cause a rapid drop in blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous for those with diabetes or blood sugar management issues. Consult with a doctor before incorporating apple cider vinegar into your diet.
Rice Cakes
Rice cakes are often considered a healthy snack, but like many other snacks, they are high in carbohydrates and can raise blood sugar levels quickly. It is best to choose snacks with higher fiber and protein content.
Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes
Both potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in carbohydrates and can rapidly raise blood sugar levels. It is best to consume them in moderation and pair them with protein or fiber-rich foods.
Marinara Sauce
Marinara sauce is a common ingredient in many meals, but many brands contain added sugars and preservatives that can increase blood sugar levels. Look for brands with no added sugar and use it in moderation.
Bananas
Bananas are a great source of potassium and other essential nutrients but are also high in carbohydrates and can raise blood sugar levels quickly. Consuming them in moderation and with other foods that balance blood sugar levels is best.
Berries
Berries are a great source of antioxidants and other helpful nutrients but can also contain natural sugars that can elevate blood sugar levels. Enjoy them in moderation and pair them with protein or high-fiber foods.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and calcium, but it is also high in carbohydrates. Opt for low-fat varieties and pair them with protein and fiber-rich foods.
Skinny Pop
Popcorn is a great snack, but many pre-packaged varieties contain added sugars and can elevate blood sugar levels. Look for low-fat and unflavored varieties, or try making your air-popped popcorn at home.
Seeded Snackers
Seeded snackers are healthy and alternative snacks but can also be high in carbohydrates and fats. Choose brands with no added sugars and consume them in moderation.
Grapes
While grapes are a great source of antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients, they also contain natural sugars that can raise blood sugar levels. Enjoy them in moderation and pair them with protein or high-fiber foods.
Raw Kefir
Kefir is a fermented drink high in probiotics and other beneficial compounds. However, many varieties also contain added sugars. Choose raw and organic kefir varieties with no added sugars or other artificial ingredients.
Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce is a common ingredient in many meals, but it can also contain added sugars and preservatives that can raise blood sugar levels. Look for varieties with no added sugars, or make your home sauce.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option but is also high in carbohydrates. Choose steel-cut oats or oat bran, which are higher in fiber, and pair with protein-rich foods.
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber but can also be high in carbohydrates. Consume in moderation and pair with protein-rich foods.
