Impact Whey (Myprotein) (1 Serving)

Use unflavoured or no-added-sugar Impact Whey, and compare labels for lower total carbohydrate content and fewer rapidly absorbed sweeteners.

Have the shake after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include non-starchy vegetables, eggs, fish, tofu, or avocado with the meal.

Split your usual serving into two smaller shakes taken 1–2 hours apart, and compare your glucose response with a full serving.

Blend the whey with unsweetened soy milk, chia seeds, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts instead of water alone.

Avoid adding fruit juice, honey, syrup, sweetened milk, or high-sugar powders to the shake; use cinnamon, cocoa powder, or berries for flavour instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do other light activity soon after drinking the shake, if this is safe for you.
