How to consume oats, vegan protein without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Eat smaller portions of oats to minimize glucose impact. Start with a smaller serving size and gradually adjust to find what works best for you.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your oats. They can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or avocado to your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels and keep you full longer.

Pair with Protein

Opt for a balanced meal by adding plant-based proteins like tofu, tempeh, or legumes. This combination can help moderate glucose response.

Choose Whole Grains

When selecting oats, choose steel-cut or rolled oats over instant options. Less processed oats have a more gradual effect on blood sugar.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add cinnamon to your oats. Some studies suggest that cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Properly

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can assist in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Consider Meal Timing

Consume your oats and protein as part of a balanced breakfast or lunch rather than as a dinner option to allow more time for metabolism throughout the day.

Add Fruits with Moderation

Incorporate low-sugar fruits such as berries or green apples in moderation to add sweetness and additional nutrients without a large impact on your glucose levels.

Try Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar, like apple cider vinegar, to your meal. Some research indicates it may help reduce blood sugar spikes when consumed with carbohydrates.
