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

Balance with Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to your meal. This will help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices, a handful of almonds, or a drizzle of olive oil to your smoothie or salad. Fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add ingredients high in fiber such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of berries. Fiber slows down digestion and glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your meal to aid digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Control Portion Size

Be mindful of portion sizes for both the smoothie and salad greens. Smaller portions can reduce the likelihood of a glucose spike.

Opt for Low-Calorie Dressings

When choosing dressings for your salad, consider using vinegar-based options or lemon juice, which are typically lower in sugars.

Watch the Timing

Try consuming your smoothie or salad along with a balanced meal rather than as a standalone snack to spread out the glucose release.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon into your smoothie. Cinnamon has been noted for its potential to help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Be aware of the total carbohydrates in your meal, adjusting if necessary to prevent a spike.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity to enhance your body's ability to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
