How to consume cacao powder, frozen dark sweet pitted cherries, organic unsweetened soymilk, organic coconut milk, organic plant protein, roasted unsalted cashew nuts, vanilla extract (imitation, no alcohol) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of cacao powder and cherries. Even healthy foods can cause spikes if consumed in large amounts.

Combine with Fiber

Add a fiber-rich food like chia seeds or flaxseeds to the mix to slow down absorption and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Incorporate additional sources of protein such as Greek yogurt (if not avoiding dairy) or a small portion of eggs to help mitigate the spike by slowing digestion.

Opt for Whole Cherries

If possible, choose fresh cherries instead of frozen ones as processing can sometimes affect sugar concentration and absorption.

Choose Low-Glycemic Alternatives

Substitute some of the cherries with berries like blackberries or raspberries, which generally have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Sweetness

Ensure the imitation vanilla extract and coconut milk do not have added sugars that could contribute to the spike.

Hydration and Timing

Drink water with your meal and try consuming this mix as part of a larger meal or snack rather than alone to help buffer the spike.

Add Healthy Fats

Mix in a small handful of almonds or walnuts, which provide healthy fats that can aid in slowing down sugar absorption.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood glucose response and adjust the ingredients and quantities based on your results to find what works best for you.

Exercise Post-consumption

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming the mix to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.
