How to consume Berry Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Increase the fiber content of your smoothie by adding chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small amount of oats. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Incorporate a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to balance the macronutrients and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats such as avocado or almond butter. Fats can help slow the digestion process and reduce spikes.

Portion Control

Reduce the overall portion size of the smoothie to decrease the sugar load from the berries.

Lower Sugar Berries

Use berries with lower sugar content, like blackberries or raspberries, instead of higher sugar options like bananas.

Cinnamon

Add a dash of cinnamon to your smoothie. This spice is known to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Dilute your smoothie with more water or almond milk to reduce the concentration of sugars.

Timing

Drink your smoothie as part of a full meal rather than on its own to minimize blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Berries

Use a smaller amount of berries or replace some of them with leafy greens like spinach or kale, which are low in sugar.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to your smoothie, as it may help to moderate blood sugar levels.
