How to consume Banana, Peanut Butter Smoothie without glucose spikes
Add Fiber
Incorporate a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds into your smoothie to boost fiber content, which helps slow down glucose absorption.
Use Unsweetened Almond Milk
Opt for unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk or sweetened milk alternatives to lower the carbohydrate content.
Add Protein
Include a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to your smoothie to increase protein, which can moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.
Opt for a Smaller Banana
Use half a banana instead of a whole one to reduce the sugar content while still enjoying the flavor.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a teaspoon of MCT oil or a small handful of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, to provide healthy fats that can help stabilize blood sugar.
Mix in Leafy Greens
Blend in a handful of spinach or kale to add nutrients and fiber without altering the taste significantly.
Limit the Peanut Butter
Use a smaller portion of peanut butter or substitute it with powdered peanut butter to reduce the fat and calorie content.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon into your smoothie as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.
Drink Slowly
Sip your smoothie slowly rather than drinking it quickly to give your body more time to process the sugars and reduce a spike.
Pair with a Low-Carb Snack
If you’re having this smoothie as a part of a meal, consider pairing it with a low-carb snack, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of cheese, to balance your intake.
