How to consume cheerios without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate a serving of protein such as Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts alongside your Cheerios to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber

Sprinkle some chia seeds or add a small serving of berries to your Cheerios. Both are high in fiber and can help slow down glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of Cheerios you consume. Opt for a smaller portion to lessen the impact on your blood sugar.

Opt for Whole-Grain Cheerios

Choose Cheerios that are made from whole grains rather than refined grains. Whole grains are digested more slowly.

Drink Water

Pair your meal with a glass of water instead of fruit juice or sugary beverages to avoid additional sugar intake.

Add Cinnamon

Top your Cheerios with a dash of cinnamon. Cinnamon has been shown to help manage blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to properly process the carbohydrates.

Morning Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.

Combine with Veggies

Enjoy a small vegetable-based side dish, like a salad or sliced avocado. Vegetables can provide additional fiber and nutrients.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating Cheerios to better understand how your body responds, and adjust your habits accordingly.
