How to consume Apple Shake without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your apple shake, such as almond butter, Greek yogurt, or a scoop of protein powder. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a handful of spinach to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Alternatives

Opt for unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk or sweetened alternatives to reduce overall sugar content.

Use Whole Apples

Ensure you're using whole apples with the skin on, as the fiber in the skin can help mitigate spikes.

Limit Portion Size

Keep your shake portion moderate. A smaller serving can reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your shake, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Balance with a Meal

Consume your shake as part of a balanced meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber to prevent glucose spikes.

Avoid Added Sugars

Refrain from adding sweeteners or syrups to your shake. The natural sweetness of the apples should suffice.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water alongside your shake to help with digestion and reduce potential spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider consuming the shake after a workout when your body is more efficient at using glucose.
