To help keep your glucose on track, start by building a balanced breakfast. Oatmeal with peanut butter and milled flaxseed, or eggs and avocado on whole grain toast, are great options.   

If you’re craving a smoothie, add some chia seeds, flax seeds, or psyllium husk. They’re great sources of fiber, which helps steady glucose. 1 Or try some plain Greek yogurt. It’s low in carbohydrates and high in protein, while also providing gut-healthy probiotics. 2 Add in nuts, seeds, and berries for a glucose-friendly breakfast, snack, or dessert. 

Check your schedule for the day and set specific times for snacks and meals.  

Ride the momentum and plan a healthy evening meal. Include a source of protein (like chicken, salmon, prawns, tofu, or tempeh), some non-starchy vegetables (like eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini), a portion of complex carbohydrates (like brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or sweet potato), and a source of healthy fats (like avocado, olive oil, or tahini).  

Then season your creation with your favorite spices and enjoy. 

A final note from Lingo 

To keep your glucose steady throughout the day, build your meals so that they have a good balance of macronutrients. Combining protein, non-starchy veggies, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats will help regulate your glucose while filling you up at the same time.
