How to consume Plant Based smootie without glucose spikes

Include Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to your smoothie. These are high in fiber and can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Protein

Include plant-based protein sources such as almond butter, hemp seeds, or a scoop of protein powder. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Blend in avocado or a small amount of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can slow digestion and prevent rapid blood sugar spikes.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for fruits like berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries) or green apples, which have a lower sugar content compared to other fruits.

Use Unsweetened Plant Milk

Replace sweetened plant milk with unsweetened options like almond milk or coconut milk to reduce added sugars.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the amount of fruit and sweeteners used. Smaller portions can help manage the impact on blood sugar.

Add a Greens Boost

Include leafy greens like spinach or kale, which are low in sugar and high in nutrients, to add volume without significantly impacting glucose levels.

Limit High-Sugar Additives

Avoid adding syrups, honey, or other sweeteners. If sweetness is desired, use a small amount of a natural low-calorie sweetener.

Blend with Ice or Water

Adding ice or water can dilute the smoothie, reducing the concentration of sugars per serving.

Enjoy with a Balanced Meal

Consume your smoothie as part of a balanced meal that includes a variety of macronutrients to help moderate blood sugar responses.
