How to consume Strawberry Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of protein in your smoothie, such as Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add ingredients like almond butter, chia seeds, or flaxseeds. Healthy fats can help moderate the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Use Low-sugar Fruits

Consider blending in fruits like blueberries or raspberries, which are lower in sugar compared to others.

Include Fiber

Add a handful of oats or a spoonful of psyllium husk to your smoothie. Fiber helps in slowing digestion and stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Limit Fruit Juices

Avoid using fruit juices as a base; instead, use water or unsweetened almond milk to keep the sugar content lower.

Mind the Portion Size

Keep your smoothie servings small to prevent large sugar load on your body at once.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your smoothie. Cinnamon has properties that may help regulate blood sugar levels.

Blend in Leafy Greens

Add a handful of spinach or kale to increase the nutritional content without adding sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, which can help your body manage and stabilize blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your smoothie as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to mitigate spikes.
