How to consume Vegan protein shake without glucose spikes
Add Fiber
Incorporate a source of fiber such as chia seeds or ground flaxseeds into your shake. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a tablespoon of unsweetened almond butter or avocado to your shake. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Choose Low-Sugar Fruits
If you're adding fruit, opt for berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, as they have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to other fruits.
Use Unsweetened Plant Milk
Replace sweetened plant-based milk with unsweetened versions like almond milk or coconut milk to reduce added sugars.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Keep an eye on the portion size of your shake to avoid consuming excess calories and carbohydrates, which can contribute to spikes.
Add Protein
Include a plant-based protein powder with minimal added sugars to help balance the macronutrient profile of your shake.
Consider Cinnamon
Blend a dash of cinnamon into your shake. Cinnamon is believed to improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Drink Slowly
Sip your shake rather than drinking it quickly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates.
Exercise Afterwards
Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after consuming your shake to help your muscles use up glucose more efficiently.
Hydrate Well
Ensure you're drinking plenty of water throughout the day, as hydration can support overall metabolic processes, including glucose regulation.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
