How to consume dutch green smoothie, mixed salad greens without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts into your smoothie or salad. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or flaxseeds. These can slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Fiber Boost

Enhance the fiber content by adding ingredients like chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, or psyllium husk. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Fruit Portion

If your smoothie includes fruits, try using lower-sugar options like berries and control the portion size to keep sugar content low.

Opt for Whole Foods

Use whole foods rather than processed options in your smoothie and salad. Whole foods tend to have a more gradual impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your smoothie or salad dressing. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve blood sugar control.

Choose Low-Sugar Liquids

Use water, unsweetened almond milk, or coconut water as the liquid base for your smoothie instead of fruit juices or sweetened alternatives.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew your salad thoroughly. Eating slowly can help manage the rate at which your body processes the food.

Balance Your Meals

Combine your smoothie or salad with a small portion of complex carbohydrates like quinoa or sweet potato to add balance to your meal.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of your smoothie and salad to prevent unnecessary glucose spikes from large volumes of food.
