How to consume oats, oats without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or Greek yogurt, to your oatmeal to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Smaller Portions

Reduce the serving size of oats and balance it with other low-carb, nutrient-dense foods to avoid an excessive glucose spike.

Incorporate Fiber

Add fiber-rich toppings, such as berries, which can help moderate blood sugar response.

Opt for Steel-Cut or Rolled Oats

These types of oats are less processed compared to instant oats, leading to slower digestion and absorption.

Use Cinnamon

Adding cinnamon to your oats may help reduce blood sugar levels due to its potential beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity.

Time Your Meals

Consider eating oats after physical activity, as exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar spikes.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to support digestion and the management of blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different combinations affect your blood sugar and adjust your ingredients accordingly.
