Myprotein - Pea Protein Isolate 30g (1 grams)

Use an unflavoured, unsweetened pea protein isolate and check the label for added sugars, maltodextrin, syrups, or high-carbohydrate flavourings; these are common contributors to a larger rise.

Mix the 30 g serving with water or unsweetened almond milk rather than juice, regular milk, or sweetened plant milks.

Split the serving into two 15 g portions taken 1–2 hours apart to reduce the size of the glucose exposure at one time.

Take the shake alongside or shortly after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; adding chia seeds, walnuts, or almonds can slow absorption.

Avoid combining the shake with fast-absorbing carbohydrate sources such as fruit juice, sweetened coffee drinks, cereal, or baked snacks.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the shake or meal, if safe for you; regular post-meal movement can reduce the rise. If spikes are frequent or substantial, discuss the pattern with a clinician.
