How to consume Gold Standard Whey Protein, Milk without glucose spikes

Choose a Low-Carbohydrate Milk Alternative

Opt for unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, as they typically have fewer carbohydrates than regular milk, which can help minimize glucose spikes.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a source of fiber such as ground flaxseeds or chia seeds to your shake. Fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of nut butter or a small amount of avocado to your protein shake. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and reduce rapid increases in blood sugar.

Use a Smaller Serving

Reduce the amount of whey protein and milk used in your shake to decrease the overall carbohydrate content.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your shake. Cinnamon has been shown to have properties that can help manage blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Consume your shake with a small handful of nuts or a boiled egg to help balance the macronutrient profile and reduce glucose spikes.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a walk, after consuming your shake. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by muscles.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day, as proper hydration can support your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of all ingredients in your shake to ensure you’re not consuming more carbohydrates than your body can handle at once.

Timing and Spacing

Consider consuming your protein shake at times when your body is more insulin sensitive, such as after a workout, to help manage blood sugar levels effectively.
