How to consume oat meal with cherries without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of your oatmeal and cherries, as smaller portions can lead to smaller spikes in glucose levels.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds into your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like almond butter, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to your oatmeal to provide sustained energy and reduce glucose spikes.
Choose Steel-Cut Oats
Opt for steel-cut oats instead of instant oats since they are less processed, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.
Incorporate Fiber
Boost the fiber content by adding ingredients like flaxseeds, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of bran to help slow digestion.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal, as it may improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Pair with Protein-Rich Drink
Accompany your meal with a protein-rich drink such as a glass of unsweetened almond milk or soy milk.
Mix with Lower Sugar Fruits
Balance the cherries by adding lower sugar fruits like berries, which can help moderate the overall sugar content of the meal.
Allow Time for Digestion
Eat your oatmeal slowly and allow time for digestion to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.
Monitor Timing
Consider the timing of your meal, such as having it post-exercise when your body is more efficient at using up glucose.
