How to consume Energy Drink without glucose spikes

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming an energy drink to help dilute its sugar concentration and slow absorption.

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a boiled egg, alongside the energy drink to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Include high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds in your diet to slow down sugar absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having a meal around the time you consume the energy drink, opt for whole grain options such as quinoa or barley to promote steadier blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado or a small serving of nuts, to help buffer the glucose spike.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a short walk or do light exercises after consuming the energy drink to help your body utilize the sugar more efficiently.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Consider consuming only half of the energy drink and save the rest for later to minimize the initial sugar load.

Read Labels Carefully

Look for energy drinks with lower sugar content or those sweetened with alternative sweeteners.

Balance Meals

If you plan to have an energy drink, ensure your meals are balanced with proteins, fibers, and fats to mitigate the impact on blood sugar.

Limit Other Sugary Foods

Avoid consuming other sugary snacks or drinks around the same time as the energy drink to prevent compounding effects on your blood sugar.
