How to consume Oats without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) alongside your oats to slow down the digestion process and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Mix in healthy fats such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a spoonful of nut butter. These can help keep you fuller longer and stabilize blood sugar.

Choose Steel-Cut or Rolled Oats

Opt for less processed oats like steel-cut or rolled oats, which take longer for your body to break down compared to instant oats, resulting in a steadier release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Fiber-Rich Toppings

Enhance your oats with fiber-rich toppings such as berries (like blueberries or raspberries), which can help slow sugar absorption.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid adding or minimize the use of sweeteners such as honey, syrup, or sugar. Use cinnamon or vanilla extract as natural flavor enhancers without the added sugar.

Portion Control

Be mindful of your serving size. Eating larger portions can lead to higher spikes, so consider measuring your oats to stick to a reasonable portion.

Opt for Whole-Fruit Toppings

Instead of sugary toppings or dried fruits, choose fresh fruits like apples, pears, or a small banana for added sweetness and fiber benefits.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Beverages

Accompany your meal with water or unsweetened beverages instead of fruit juices or sugary drinks to prevent additional sugar intake.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal, as eating slowly can help your body better regulate insulin and glucose levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having oats as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, which can help reduce the likelihood of a spike.
