How to consume Smoothie without glucose spikes
Include Protein
Add a source of protein to your smoothie, such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a scoop of protein powder. This helps slow down the absorption of sugars.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or flaxseeds. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Low-Sugar Fruits
Opt for low-sugar fruits like berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) instead of high-sugar fruits like bananas or mangoes.
Fiber Boost
Add a fiber supplement like psyllium husk or a tablespoon of oats to increase the fiber content, which can help moderate the sugar spike.
Leafy Greens
Throw in a handful of leafy greens such as spinach or kale. They are low in sugar and high in nutrients, and they can help balance the overall nutritional profile of your smoothie.
Cinnamon
Add a dash of cinnamon, which can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.
Portion Control
Keep an eye on portion sizes. Even healthy foods can cause spikes if consumed in large amounts.
Advance Preparation
Prepare your smoothie with a balance of nutrients. Make sure you have a good mix of protein, fats, and fiber along with the carbohydrates.
Drink Slowly
Sipping your smoothie slowly instead of drinking it all at once can help prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Hydrate
Ensure you are well-hydrated throughout the day. Sometimes, dehydration can affect how your body manages blood sugar.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
