How to consume green smoothie, poha without glucose spikes
Balance with Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal. Consider including Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your green smoothie.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats in your diet. You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your smoothie, or cook your poha with a little bit of olive oil or ghee.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber-rich foods to your meal to slow down digestion and prevent spikes. Try adding spinach or kale to your smoothie and include some vegetables like peas or carrots in your poha.
Opt for Portion Control
Be mindful of your portion sizes. Reducing the quantity of the smoothie or poha can help manage the glucose response.
Add a Squeeze of Lemon
The acidity in lemon can moderate blood sugar levels. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon to your poha or into your smoothie.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, use poha made from brown rice, as it can have a more stabilizing effect on blood sugar compared to the regular white rice version.
Walk After Meals
Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after your meal, to help your body regulate blood sugar levels.
Monitor and Adjust Ingredients
Experiment with the quantities and types of fruits in your smoothie. Consider using fruits like berries or green apple, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
Regular Timing and Consistency
Eating meals at regular intervals can help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Avoid skipping meals and try to eat your smoothie and poha at consistent times daily.
