How to consume Protein Shake without glucose spikes
Add Fiber
Incorporate a source of fiber into your shake, such as chia seeds or ground flaxseeds, to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats like a tablespoon of almond butter or half an avocado to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Low-Sugar Fruits
Blend in low-sugar fruits like berries, which can add natural sweetness and additional fiber.
Portion Control
Ensure you are consuming an appropriate portion size of your protein shake to prevent excessive intake at one time.
Balanced Nutrition
Consider pairing your protein shake with a small handful of nuts or a slice of whole-grain toast to create a more balanced meal.
Timing
Consume your protein shake as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce potential spikes.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall metabolic function and help with the digestion of your shake.
Monitor Additives
Check the ingredients of your protein powder for added sugars or high-carbohydrate fillers that may contribute to glucose spikes.
Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your shake to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.
Consider Alternatives
Experiment with alternative, lower-carb protein sources like pea protein or hemp protein that may cause less of a spike.

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