How to consume espresso coffee, ginger, smoothie without glucose spikes

Moderate Portion Size

Consume smaller amounts of espresso, ginger, and smoothie to reduce the total intake of sugars and carbohydrates that contribute to glucose spikes.

Balance with Protein

Pair your espresso and smoothie with a source of protein like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich ingredients into your smoothie, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small handful of spinach, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Low-Sugar Ingredients

When making a smoothie, use berries like strawberries or blueberries, which are lower in sugars, instead of high-sugar fruits like bananas or mangoes.

Use Unsweetened Almond Milk

If your smoothie recipe calls for milk, replace it with unsweetened almond milk to reduce sugar content.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid adding extra sugar or sweeteners to your espresso and smoothie. If you need sweetness, consider using a natural low-calorie sweetener like stevia.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or a teaspoon of nut butter to your smoothie to help slow glucose absorption.

Choose Decaffeinated Espresso

Consider switching to decaffeinated espresso, which may have a less pronounced effect on glucose levels compared to regular espresso.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day to help maintain overall hydration and support the body's natural regulation of glucose.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming these items at different times of the day, ideally during a meal, to see if it affects your glucose response differently.

Practice Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your espresso or smoothie to help improve glucose metabolism.

Mindful Ginger Consumption

Use ginger sparingly in your recipes, as it can contribute to the overall carbohydrate content if used in excess.
