Carbohydrates in our food raise your blood sugar levels. How fast they rise depends on the food that you eat, and what you eat it with.

Eating carbs with foods that have protein, fat, or fibre slows down how quickly our blood sugars shoot up. This is why it’s important to have regular, balanced meals, and this visual plate can help you with this 👏

Following this method should help you to feel your best, and prevent a “hangry” episode 😂 (you're going to want to save this post)!

Our favourite blood sugar balancing snacks

Healthy snacking can be fun, and it is one of the best ways to prevent extreme blood sugar fluctuations 🎢 - as long as you're doing it right.

We love the saying "put clothing on your carbs": protein, fats & fibre. This combo helps your food absorb slower, so your blood sugars don't shoot up 💥, and gives you sustainable energy levels by stabilising your blood sugar levels 👏
