How to consume Plant Based smootie without glucose spikes

Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Incorporate ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to your smoothie. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or some silken tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Select Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for berries such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. These fruits have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of avocado or a tablespoon of nut butter, like almond or peanut butter, to your smoothie. Healthy fats can help modulate glucose spikes.

Use Unsweetened Plant Milk

Choose almond milk, coconut milk, or another unsweetened plant-based milk to reduce sugar content.

Add Cinnamon

Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon into your smoothie, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Pay attention to portion sizes by not overloading your smoothie with fruit, which can contribute to higher sugar content.

Balance with Veggies

Add leafy greens like spinach or kale to balance out the sweetness from fruits and add more nutrients.

Consume Slowly

Sip your smoothie slowly to give your body more time to process the sugars.

Monitor Ingredients

Be mindful of all added ingredients, including sweeteners or high-sugar fruits, and adjust accordingly.
