How to consume Lemonade without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, or Greek yogurt, when consuming lemonade. This can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after having lemonade to help dilute its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Lemonade with Less Sugar

Opt for lemonade that is lower in sugar or make your own using fresh lemons and a natural, low-calorie sweetener.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your lemonade with fiber-rich foods like oatmeal or a small serving of beans, as fiber can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Monitor Portion Size

Limit the amount of lemonade you consume in one sitting to help reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after drinking lemonade to help your body process the sugar more effectively.

Include a Salad

Have a small salad with leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables alongside your lemonade to help balance your meal.

Consume with Whole Grains

Pair lemonade with whole grains such as quinoa or barley to reduce its potential impact on blood sugar levels.

Try Herbal Teas

Consider replacing or alternating lemonade with herbal teas that do not contain added sugars for a refreshing, lower-sugar beverage option.
