How to consume oat meal with cherries without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like a spoonful of almond butter, a handful of nuts, or a scoop of protein powder with your oatmeal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a few slices of avocado to your oatmeal. This can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Oats

Opt for steel-cut or rolled oats instead of instant oats. These less-processed forms of oats release glucose more slowly.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Instead of cherries, consider adding berries like strawberries or blackberries, as they have less natural sugar and can help in managing glucose levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your oatmeal and cherries to minimize the glucose spike while adding more of other components like protein and fats.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon onto your oatmeal. Cinnamon is known for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity.

Include Vinegar

Consider consuming a small amount of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before your meal, as it may help in reducing the glucose response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your breakfast, chewing thoroughly to help your body process the carbohydrates more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Have your breakfast at a consistent time each day and avoid skipping meals, which can lead to larger spikes when you do eat.
