How to consume Protein Shake without glucose spikes
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add a serving of fiber-rich foods like berries, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to your protein shake. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars and prevent a spike.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Opt for Low-Sugar Protein Powders
Choose protein powders that have little to no added sugars. Look for products that use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
Balance with a Low-Carb Meal
Pair your protein shake with a low-carb meal such as a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and a vinegar-based dressing to stabilize blood glucose levels.
Incorporate Cinnamon
Add a dash of cinnamon to your shake. This spice is known to improve insulin sensitivity and help in controlling blood sugar.
Drink Slowly
Consume your protein shake slowly rather than quickly to allow your body more time to process the nutrients and avoid a quick rise in blood sugar.
Exercise Portion Control
Measure the serving size of your protein shake accurately to avoid consuming excess carbohydrates or sugars.
Add a Source of Protein
Include a natural source of protein such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, which can contribute to a more gradual release of energy.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after consuming your shake. Proper hydration helps in maintaining optimal bodily functions, including blood sugar regulation.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood glucose response to different variations of your shake and adjust the ingredients accordingly to achieve better control.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
