How to consume english banana shake without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds into your shake. These seeds are high in fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Add a scoop of protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt to the shake. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Mix in a tablespoon of almond butter or avocado. Healthy fats can help slow down the digestion process.

Portion Control

Reduce the number of bananas used. Instead of using two bananas, use one to lower the overall sugar content.

Blend with Vegetables

Add spinach or kale to your shake. These leafy greens are low in sugar and add additional fiber and nutrients.

Use Unsweetened Milk Alternatives

Opt for unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk instead of regular milk. These options typically have lower sugar content.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle ground cinnamon into your shake. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and can help manage blood sugar levels.

Consume with a Balanced Meal

Have your shake alongside a small, balanced meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and whole grains to help moderate the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Drink Slowly

Sip your shake slowly rather than drinking it quickly. This gives your body more time to process the sugars.

Monitor Timing

Have your shake after a workout or physical activity, when your body is more efficient at processing glucose.
