How to consume Bfast Smoothie without glucose spikes

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or spinach to your breakfast smoothie. These ingredients can slow down the absorption of sugars, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Use Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for fruits such as berries, apples, or pears, which tend to have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to tropical fruits like mangoes or pineapples.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or unsweetened nut butter. These can help slow digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Choose a Protein Source

Incorporate protein powder, Greek yogurt, or silken tofu in your smoothie. Protein can help balance blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Use Unsweetened Milk Alternatives

Choose unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk over sugary juice or regular milk to reduce added sugars.

Avoid Sweeteners

Minimize or eliminate the use of sweeteners, even natural ones like honey or maple syrup, as they can contribute to sugar spikes.

Add Vinegar

A small amount of apple cider vinegar can be added to your smoothie to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Portion Size

Keep your smoothie portions moderate. Consuming large amounts can lead to an excessive intake of carbohydrates, even from healthy sources.

Pre-Blend Preparation

Soak grains like oats or quinoa overnight before adding them to your smoothie. This can improve their digestibility and reduce their impact on blood sugar levels.

Blend with Ice or Water

Adding ice or water can help dilute the concentration of sugars in your smoothie, which might help in reducing the blood sugar response.
