Nutritionist called out my morning routine, but she was right
I used to slam a green smoothie with frozen mango and spinach every day at 7am, thinking I was being healthy. A nutritionist friend watched me make it and said the sugar load was spiking my glucose before I even sat down at my desk. She suggested adding a scoop of protein powder and a spoon of almond butter, so the fiber and fat would slow things down. I wore a CGM for two weeks last month to test it, and my post-smoothie spike dropped from 145 to 112 after the change. Anyone else tweak their smoothie ratios after seeing real glucose data on a monitor?
