How to consume Blueberry Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a protein source such as Greek yogurt, a scoop of protein powder, or a handful of nuts to your blueberry smoothie. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of almond butter, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to your smoothie. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Fiber

Blend in some spinach, kale, or oats. These fiber-rich additions can help slow the digestion process and prevent spikes.

Use Whole Fruits

Opt for fresh or frozen whole blueberries instead of blueberry juice to benefit from the natural fiber content.

Limit Sweeteners

Minimize or avoid adding sweeteners like honey or agave. If needed, use a small amount of a low-calorie sweetener.

Balance with Complex Carbs

Pair your smoothie with a small serving of whole-grain toast or a whole-grain muffin to help balance blood sugar levels.

Hydration Balance

Use unsweetened almond milk, coconut water, or water as the liquid base instead of fruit juices.

Portion Control

Monitor the portion size of your smoothie to ensure you're not consuming excess calories or sugars.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your smoothie. Cinnamon has been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.

Drink Slowly

Sip your smoothie slowly to allow your body time to process the sugars more effectively.
