How to consume cheerios without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein like eggs or Greek yogurt, and healthy fats such as nuts or seeds when consuming Cheerios. This combination can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of Cheerios you consume. Smaller portions can result in a smaller glucose spike.

Fiber Boost

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as berries, chia seeds, or flaxseeds alongside your Cheerios to improve digestion and delay sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Timing of Consumption

Consider eating Cheerios as part of a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach, or later in the day when your body may be more insulin sensitive.

Choose Milk Alternatives

If you add milk, consider unsweetened almond or soy milk as they are lower in carbohydrates compared to regular milk.

Physical Activity

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

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and recognize fullness, potentially reducing the glucose spike.
