How to consume plant protein powder without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your plant protein powder with high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your protein shake. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or cucumber into your shake to add bulk and nutrients without significantly raising blood sugar.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion size of the protein powder you are using. Sometimes, reducing the amount slightly can help control glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and include a glass of water with your protein shake to help with digestion and glucose metabolism.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

If adding fruit to your protein shake, opt for those lower in natural sugars such as berries, green apples, or pears.

Add a Protein Source

Supplement your plant protein powder with whole food protein sources like a small handful of nuts or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.

Timing and Frequency

Spread out your consumption of protein powder throughout the day rather than consuming a large amount at once.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your protein shake to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Check for Added Sugars

Ensure that your plant protein powder does not contain added sugars or sweeteners which might contribute to glucose spikes. Choose one with minimal ingredients and no added sugars.
