How to consume green smoothie, poha without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a scoop of protein powder in your green smoothie to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small handful of nuts to your meals. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

When making a green smoothie, opt for low-sugar fruits like berries instead of high-sugar fruits like bananas or mangoes.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes for both your smoothie and poha to avoid excessive intake that could lead to spikes.

Add Fiber

Enhance the fiber content of your meals by including ingredients like spinach, kale, or oats in your smoothie, and adding vegetables or a small amount of legumes to your poha.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day, which can assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels and reducing spikes.

Include Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your smoothie or poha. Cinnamon may help in reducing blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take time to chew your food thoroughly and enjoy your meals. Eating slowly can help regulate the digestion process and prevent spikes.

Balance Your Plate

Ensure your meals include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to encourage gradual digestion and glucose absorption.

Monitor Timing

Consider the timing of your meals. Having smaller, more frequent meals can help maintain steady glucose levels compared to larger, infrequent meals.
