How to consume Blueberry Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Include a source of fiber in your smoothie, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, which can help slow down sugar absorption in the bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a tablespoon of nut butter to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a serving of Greek yogurt to your smoothie to make it more balanced and reduce glucose spikes.

Limit Fruit Portions

Use a smaller portion of blueberries and combine them with low-sugar fruits like strawberries or raspberries to maintain the sweetness without excessive sugar.

Choose a Low-Sugar Liquid Base

Opt for unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of fruit juices or sweetened milk alternatives.

Add Greens

Incorporate leafy greens such as spinach or kale into your smoothie. These add nutrients and fiber without adding excess sugar.

Include Spices

Add spices like cinnamon, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Portion Size

Keep an eye on the overall size of your smoothie to prevent overconsumption, which can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Consume with a Balanced Meal

Drink your smoothie as part of a meal that includes whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats to help moderate the overall impact on blood sugar levels.
