How to consume Fruit Smoothie (Made With Fruit Or Fruit Juice Only) without glucose spikes

Add Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fat in your smoothie. Consider adding a spoonful of almond butter, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts or seeds like chia or flaxseed. These can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Boost the fiber content by adding a small handful of oats, a tablespoon of chia seeds, or a scoop of fiber powder. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Use Leafy Greens

Incorporate a handful of spinach or kale. These greens add nutrients and fiber without significantly impacting the sugar content.

Limit Fruit Juice

Instead of fruit juice, use water, almond milk, or another low-sugar liquid as the base for your smoothie to reduce sugar content.

Combine with a Balanced Meal

Have your smoothie with a meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to balance the impact on blood sugar.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of your smoothie. Even healthy ingredients can contribute to a sugar spike if consumed in large quantities.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for fruits with lower sugar content, such as berries, rather than sweeter fruits like bananas or mangoes.

Drink Slowly

Sip your smoothie slowly rather than drinking it quickly. This can help your body manage the sugar absorption more effectively.

Precede with a Small Snack

Have a small snack containing protein and healthy fats, like a few almonds, before drinking your smoothie to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Ingredient Combinations

Pay attention to how different combinations of ingredients affect your blood sugar and adjust accordingly for future smoothies.
