How to consume Granola Cereal without glucose spikes

Choose a High-Fiber Granola

Opt for granola that is high in fiber, as fiber can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Protein

Include a protein source like low-fat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to your granola. Protein can slow digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or almond butter. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Pair with Low-Sugar Fruits

Top your granola with fruits like berries, cherries, or apple slices to add sweetness without causing a large spike in blood sugar.

Use Unsweetened Milk or Alternatives

Choose unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or regular milk to avoid added sugars that can elevate blood glucose levels.

Portion Control

Be mindful of serving sizes. Consuming a smaller portion of granola can help mitigate a glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Hydration can help with digestion and reduce the concentration of sugars in your bloodstream.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your granola, as it may improve insulin sensitivity and help control blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, as this can aid in digestion and prevent rapid blood sugar spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating granola and adjust your portion size or meal combinations accordingly.
