How to consume berry smoothie, berry smoothie without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt in your berry smoothie. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your smoothie. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Use Unsweetened Milk Alternatives
Opt for unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk instead of fruit juice or sweetened milk.
Incorporate Fiber
Blend in a handful of spinach or kale to increase the fiber content, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Portion Control
Keep your smoothie serving size moderate. Too much fruit can lead to a higher sugar content, so balance the portions.
Select Low-Sugar Fruits
Limit the quantity of high-sugar fruits like bananas and opt for more berries, which generally have a lower sugar content.
Add a Dash of Cinnamon
Cinnamon is believed to help regulate blood sugar levels, so consider adding a small amount to your smoothie.
Drink Slowly
Sipping your smoothie slowly gives your body more time to process the sugars gradually.
Pre-Meal Snack
Consider eating a small snack high in protein or fiber before consuming your smoothie to prepare your body for sugar intake.
Monitor Ingredients
Keep track of what you include in your smoothie and try to avoid added sweeteners like honey, syrups, or sugar.
