Organic Plant Protein (OZiva) (1 Serving)

Check the ingredient label and choose an unsweetened plant protein powder with no added sugar, syrups, maltodextrin, or fruit juice powders.

Use a smaller serving of the protein powder and dilute it with water or unsweetened almond milk rather than sweetened plant milks.

Have the shake alongside fat and fiber, such as a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseed, to slow absorption.

Add a small portion of low-sugar berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, instead of banana, dates, or mango.

Drink the protein shake after or with a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after consuming it to help reduce the post-meal rise.
