How to consume green smoothie, poha without glucose spikes

Balance with Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal. Consider including Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your green smoothie.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats in your diet. You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your smoothie, or cook your poha with a little bit of olive oil or ghee.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more fiber-rich foods to your meal to slow down digestion and prevent spikes. Try adding spinach or kale to your smoothie and include some vegetables like peas or carrots in your poha.

Opt for Portion Control

Be mindful of your portion sizes. Reducing the quantity of the smoothie or poha can help manage the glucose response.

Add a Squeeze of Lemon

The acidity in lemon can moderate blood sugar levels. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon to your poha or into your smoothie.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use poha made from brown rice, as it can have a more stabilizing effect on blood sugar compared to the regular white rice version.

Walk After Meals

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after your meal, to help your body regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust Ingredients

Experiment with the quantities and types of fruits in your smoothie. Consider using fruits like berries or green apple, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Regular Timing and Consistency

Eating meals at regular intervals can help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Avoid skipping meals and try to eat your smoothie and poha at consistent times daily.
