How to consume Pineapple Smoothie without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a scoop of protein powder or some Greek yogurt to your smoothie. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small amount of avocado. Healthy fats can moderate blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Fiber

Blend in some spinach or kale. These leafy greens are high in fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Alternative Sweeteners

Instead of adding sugar or honey, use a sweetener like stevia that won't impact blood sugar as significantly.

Pair with Nuts

Consume a handful of almonds or walnuts alongside your smoothie. The fats and protein from the nuts can help mitigate the rise in blood sugar.

Opt for Unsweetened Almond Milk

Use unsweetened almond milk as your liquid base instead of fruit juices which can add extra sugar to your smoothie.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the amount of pineapple used in your smoothie. Consider combining it with lower sugar fruits like berries.

Drink Slowly

Sip your smoothie slowly rather than consuming it quickly. This helps prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity post-consumption, like a short walk, to help your body use up some of the sugar more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your smoothie as part of a balanced meal rather than independently, to distribute the sugar intake more evenly.
