How to consume Banana | Protein Shake without glucose spikes
Add Fiber
Incorporate a source of fiber, like chia seeds or flaxseeds, into your shake to slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small portion of healthy fats, such as almond butter or avocado, to your shake to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for a Low-Sugar Protein Powder
Choose a protein powder that has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, which can contribute to glucose spikes.
Balance with a Small Meal
Pair your shake with a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to add protein and fat, further moderating blood sugar levels.
Use Less Banana
Consider using half a banana instead of a whole one to reduce the sugar content in your shake.
Add Green Veggies
Blend in a handful of spinach or kale. These greens are low in sugars and provide additional nutrients.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after consuming the shake to help manage blood sugar levels effectively.
Monitor Portion Size
Be mindful of the overall portion size of your shake to avoid consuming excessive calories and sugars at once.
Exercise Post-Consumption
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming your shake to help your muscles use up glucose more efficiently.
Experiment with Ingredients
Try using unsweetened almond milk or another low-sugar alternative instead of regular milk to decrease the sugar content of the shake.
