How to consume Berry Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts to your smoothie to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of nut butter, a quarter of an avocado, or some chia seeds to your smoothie. These healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Vegetables

Blend in vegetables like spinach or kale to add fiber, which can help lower the impact on your blood sugar.

Opt for Low-Sugar Fruits

Use only small portions of berries and combine them with lower sugar fruits like green apples or pears.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or oats to increase fiber content, helping to slow the digestion of the smoothie.

Choose Unsweetened Bases

Use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or water as the liquid base instead of fruit juice or sweetened dairy products.

Portion Control

Keep an eye on portion sizes to avoid consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates at once.

Include Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your smoothie. It may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

Drink Slowly

Sip your smoothie slowly rather than drinking it quickly to prevent a rapid spike in blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Enjoy your smoothie as part of a balanced meal or snack rather than on its own, so the body's response is more gradual.
