How to consume Oats Cereal (Instant, Prepared With Water, Fortified) without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a source of protein like a boiled egg or a scoop of protein powder with your oats. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds. These can enhance satiety and slow down digestion.
Mix in Fiber-Rich Foods
Top your oats with fiber-rich fruits like berries or an apple to help moderate the rise in blood sugar.
Choose the Right Portion Size
Be mindful of the quantity of oats you consume to keep blood sugar spikes in check.
Combine with Dairy or Dairy Alternatives
Add a splash of milk or a fortified dairy alternative like almond or soy milk to increase the protein and fat content.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, prepare your oats with a mix of whole grains like quinoa or barley to improve the nutritional profile and reduce the spike.
Include Cinnamon
Sprinkle some cinnamon on your oats, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce a glucose spike.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time to eat, allowing your body to process the food more effectively and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Prepare Ahead
Soak your oats overnight to help break down some of the starches and potentially reduce the spike when consumed.
Hydrate Properly
Ensure you're well-hydrated, as adequate water intake can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.
