Garden of Life - organic plant protein, smooth energy, 0.5 scoop (24g) (1 serving(s))

Take the 24 g serving after or alongside a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, and avoid pairing it with juice, sweetened coffee, or other fast-absorbing carbohydrates.

Split the 0.5 scoop into two smaller servings taken 1–2 hours apart to reduce the carbohydrate load at one time.

Mix the powder with unsweetened soy milk, water, or unsweetened almond milk instead of sweetened plant milks.

Add a small source of fat and fiber, such as 1 tablespoon chia seeds or a small handful of almonds, to slow absorption.

If using it as a snack, pair it with plain Greek yogurt or a small serving of berries rather than crackers, cereal, or fruit juice.

Review the product label and your add-ins for sugars or rapidly absorbed starches; try a simpler preparation for several days and compare your glucose response.
