How to consume Protein Supplement Powder without glucose spikes
Choose a Low-Carb Protein Powder
Opt for protein powders that have minimal carbohydrates, as they are less likely to cause a spike in glucose levels.
Incorporate Fiber
Add a source of fiber to your protein shake, such as chia seeds or ground flaxseeds. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Mix your protein powder with healthy fats like almond butter or avocado. Fats can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Pair with Non-Starchy Vegetables
Blend your protein powder with spinach, kale, or other non-starchy vegetables to add volume and nutrients without increasing glucose spikes.
Use Unsweetened Nut Milk
Instead of mixing your protein powder with regular milk, use unsweetened almond or coconut milk to keep sugar intake low.
Control Portion Size
Be mindful of the amount of protein powder you use. Stick to the recommended serving size to avoid excess sugar intake.
Add Berries
If you like your shakes sweet, add a small portion of berries such as blueberries or strawberries, which are lower in sugar compared to other fruits.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before consuming your protein shake to ensure proper digestion and help stabilize glucose levels.
Consume with a Balanced Meal
Try having your protein shake as part of a balanced meal with lean proteins and complex carbohydrates to minimize glucose fluctuations.
Monitor Timing
Consider consuming your protein shake post-workout when your body is more efficient at processing glucose and restoring energy.
