How to consume post-workout snack without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for snacks like whole grain bread or oatmeal. These foods release energy slowly and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small serving of nuts. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Healthy fats such as those found in avocados, nuts, and seeds can help moderate the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Foods high in fiber, such as berries, apples with skin, or a small handful of legumes, can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Non-Starchy Vegetables

Consider adding vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers to your snack. These are generally low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes to prevent consuming excessive carbohydrates, which can lead to a spike in blood sugar.

Hydrate Properly

Drinking plenty of water can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels post-exercise.

Avoid Added Sugars

Steer clear of snacks with added sugars, which can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Plan Your Timing

Have your snack within 30 minutes to an hour post-workout when your body is still efficiently using glucose.

Monitor Response

Keep track of how different snacks affect your blood sugar levels and adjust your choices accordingly to find what works best for you.
