How to consume Fruit Smoothie (Made With Fruit Or Fruit Juice Only) without glucose spikes

Balance with Protein

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

Incorporate Fiber

Include high-fiber ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or spinach to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Fruits

Use whole fruits instead of fruit juices to benefit from their natural fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or nut butters to your smoothie. These can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Control Portions

Keep an eye on serving sizes. Smaller portions can help prevent spikes compared to large quantities of fruit.

Pair with a Low-Carb Snack

Consider having your smoothie with a low-carb snack, such as a boiled egg or a piece of cheese, to help balance your overall intake.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Use fruits such as berries or green apples, which are generally lower in sugar compared to options like bananas or grapes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body metabolize sugars more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Have your smoothie alongside or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach to decrease the impact on blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after consuming a smoothie, such as a short walk, to help use up some of the sugars in your bloodstream.
