How to consume Formula 1, Protein Powder, Skimmed Milk without glucose spikes

Adjust Portion Size

Consider reducing the portion size of your Formula 1 and protein powder mixture to see if a smaller serving helps mitigate the glucose spike.

Choose a Different Milk

Swap skimmed milk with unsweetened almond milk or soy milk, as they generally have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to skimmed milk.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats like a tablespoon of chia seeds or a few almonds to your shake. Healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber

Mix in some fiber-rich options like flaxseeds or psyllium husk. This can help in slowing carbohydrate absorption, thus reducing the spike.

Add Protein

Consider adding an extra source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a hard-boiled egg, alongside your shake. Additional protein can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Time Your Consumption

Try consuming your shake post-exercise or during times of increased physical activity, as your body is generally more efficient at using glucose during these times.

Monitor Your Timing

Avoid consuming the shake on an empty stomach. Instead, have it after a meal that includes fiber and protein, which can assist in blunting the spike.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you are well-hydrated before having your shake. Adequate fluid intake can help with digestion and the absorption of nutrients.

Mind Your Meal Frequency

Instead of having large meals, consider smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Personal Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar responses after consuming the shake to better understand your body's reactions and adjust your approach as needed.
