How to consume Flavored Energy Drink without glucose spikes

Hydrate with Water Before Consumption

Drink a glass of water before having the energy drink to help dilute its sugars and reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Consume a protein-rich snack, such as a handful of almonds or a boiled egg, alongside the energy drink to slow the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like a small serving of avocado or a few walnut halves, to your snack to further slow digestion and sugar absorption.

Choose High-Fiber Foods

Opt for foods rich in fiber, such as an apple with the skin on or a few carrot sticks, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Smaller Portions

Consider reducing the serving size of the energy drink and supplementing with a beverage that has little to no sugar, like herbal tea or water with lemon.

Read Labels

Opt for energy drinks with lower sugar content or those sweetened with natural alternatives that have less impact on blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Have the energy drink in moderation and possibly during or after a balanced meal to mitigate the spike.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming the drink to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Slowly consume the drink rather than quickly, allowing your body more time to process the sugars gradually.

Consider Supplements

Discuss with a healthcare provider the possibility of incorporating supplements like cinnamon or chromium, which may help in managing blood sugar levels.
