English Indian Ragi Malt (1 Cup)

Make the ragi malt unsweetened: avoid sugar, jaggery, honey, sweetened condensed milk, malted drink powders, and fruit syrups.

Use a smaller serving and drink it slowly; consider having half your usual portion and checking your glucose response.

Have it with protein and fat, such as a boiled egg, plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, tofu, or a small handful of almonds or peanuts.

Add soluble fiber such as chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the malt, and let it sit for a few minutes before drinking.

Avoid having ragi malt alone on an empty stomach; pair it with a meal containing non-starchy vegetables and lentils.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after drinking it, if safe for you; if spikes remain large, discuss the recipe and your readings with your clinician.
