How to consume home made - fruit and yogart smoothy without glucose spikes

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for fruits like berries, cherries, or apples which have lower levels of natural sugars compared to fruits like bananas or pineapples.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of nuts or seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, to your smoothie. These can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Blend in a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of Greek yogurt to increase the protein content, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Consider adding a handful of leafy greens like spinach or kale, or a spoonful of ground flaxseeds to increase the fiber content and slow down sugar absorption.

Limit Portion Size

Keep an eye on your portion size to avoid consuming an excessive amount of natural sugars in one serving.

Use Unsweetened Yogurt

Make sure to use plain, unsweetened yogurt as a base to avoid added sugars.

Blend in Some Cinnamon

Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance flavor and has been suggested to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Avoid Fruit Juices

Use whole fruits instead of fruit juices to maintain fiber content and minimize sugar concentration.

Monitor Total Carbohydrate Content

Be mindful of the total carbohydrate content in your smoothie by balancing fruit with other low-carb ingredients.

Experiment with Timing

Consider having your smoothie after a workout when your body is better able to handle carbohydrates.
