How to consume green smoothie, poha without glucose spikes

Balance with Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal. Consider incorporating Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder in your green smoothie. For poha, you can add a handful of roasted peanuts or serve it with a side of boiled eggs.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats to slow digestion. You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a small amount of nut butter to your smoothie. For poha, cook it with a bit of olive oil or add some grated coconut.

Add Fiber

Increase the fiber content in your meal. You might include flaxseeds, or oats in your smoothie. When preparing poha, add extra vegetables such as spinach, peas, or grated carrots.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes. Consider having a smaller serving of smoothie and poha and observe how your body responds to smaller quantities.

Eat Slowly

Take time to eat your meal. Eating slowly can prevent rapid glucose absorption, allowing your body to respond more effectively to insulin.

Include Vinegar

Try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to your green smoothie. The acetic acid in vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use up some of the glucose for energy.

Monitor Ingredients

Be cautious with added ingredients. Ensure that any additional fruits or toppings in your smoothie or poha are low in sugars.

Experiment with Timing

Try consuming these meals at different times of the day to see if your body responds differently. Sometimes, eating the same meals at a different time can yield varying glucose responses.
