How to consume Mango, Whey Protein without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber

Include a source of fiber in your meal to slow down the absorption of glucose. Consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to your whey protein shake or eating the mango with a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Add Protein

Increase the protein content of your meal to help moderate the spike. You can add Greek yogurt or a small amount of cottage cheese to your whey protein shake.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats in your meal to slow digestion. Avocado or a spoonful of nut butter can be blended into your shake, or you can have a few slices of avocado with your mango.

Control Portion Sizes

Reduce the portion size of the mango and whey protein to decrease the overall intake of carbohydrates. Consider consuming half a mango or reducing the amount of whey protein powder used.

Choose Low-Glycemic Additions

Incorporate low-GI fruits and vegetables like berries or spinach into your shake or alongside your mango to provide additional nutrients and fiber.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal, as staying hydrated can help with the digestion and absorption of glucose.

Timing of Consumption

Try to consume the mango and whey protein as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize spikes. Eating them post-exercise can also help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and absorption. This can lead to a more gradual increase in blood glucose levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your glucose levels with a monitor to understand how your body reacts and adjust your diet accordingly.

Consistent Meal Patterns

Maintain regular meal times to support steady blood sugar levels throughout the day, which can help minimize spikes after eating certain foods.
