How to consume english berry smoothie, russian protein, yogurt without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds into your smoothie. These seeds can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of avocado or a tablespoon of nut butter like almond or peanut butter to your smoothie. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Low-Sugar Berries

Opt for berries like raspberries or blackberries which are lower in sugar compared to other fruits. They can help in reducing the glucose spike.

Select a Greek Yogurt

Use plain Greek yogurt instead of flavored or sweetened varieties. Greek yogurt has higher protein content, which aids in moderating blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein-Rich Foods

Consider adding a scoop of a protein powder with minimal added sugars or blend in natural protein sources such as silken tofu or a handful of raw nuts.

Monitor Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion sizes of each ingredient to avoid consuming an excessive amount of carbohydrates in one sitting.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your smoothie. Cinnamon is known for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Drink Water First

Have a glass of water before consuming your smoothie. This can help with satiety and may reduce the rate at which sugar is absorbed.

Blend with Ice

Using ice in your smoothie can add volume without additional calories or sugar, helping you feel fuller with a smaller intake of carbohydrates.

Exercise Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after consuming your smoothie to help your body use the sugar more effectively.
