How to consume high protein shake chocolate without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a source of fiber into your shake, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or psyllium husk. These can help slow down digestion and prevent a rapid rise in glucose levels.

Include Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, almond butter, or a small amount of coconut oil to your shake. These fats can slow carbohydrate absorption.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the shake to minimize the overall intake of carbohydrates that can contribute to a glucose spike.

Choose Unsweetened Ingredients

Use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup or sweetened cocoa mixes to limit added sugars.

Incorporate Berries

Add a handful of berries like strawberries or blueberries to your shake. They provide natural sweetness without causing significant glucose spikes.

Add Leafy Greens

Blend in a handful of spinach or kale. These greens are low in carbohydrates and rich in nutrients, helping to stabilize glucose levels.

Balance with a Meal

Consume the shake as part of a balanced meal that includes proteins, fats, and fiber from other sources, like a small portion of nuts or seeds.

Time Your Shake

Consider consuming your shake after a workout when your body is more efficient at using glucose, which may reduce the spike.

Monitor Sweeteners

If using sweeteners, opt for those with minimal impact on glucose levels, such as stevia or monk fruit extract.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day to help your body regulate glucose levels and improve digestion.
