How to consume Grapefruit juice without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg when drinking grapefruit juice. Protein can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small serving of cheese with your juice to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Fiber Boost

Add a fiber-rich food, like chia seeds or oatmeal, to your meal. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar spikes.

Portion Control

Limit the amount of grapefruit juice to a small serving size to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Drink Water

Increase your water intake alongside the juice to help dilute its effect on your blood sugar.

Time Your Intake

Consume grapefruit juice as part of a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach. This can prevent sharp spikes.

Choose Whole Grapefruit

Opt for whole grapefruit instead of juice when possible, as the fiber in the fruit can help slow sugar absorption.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to the timing of your juice intake and avoid having it close to other sugary foods to prevent cumulative effects.

Incorporate Vegetables

Pair your juice with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers to add volume and nutrients without causing spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity after consuming grapefruit juice to help regulate blood sugar levels effectively.
