Spiced Protein Shake Snack

Sometimes I’m caught between lunch and dinner with my energy and mental clarity dipping. When this happens my blood sugar is falling and that is never a good thing.

I try to avoid this by eating before I’m ever ravishingly hungry, or being mindful not to go more than 5 hours without eating, which can be a good rule of thumb if hunger cues are off.

If energy is ever increased by eating, you know blood sugar was too low. You may also notice that anxiety, brain fog and all other hangry feelings are alleviated too. With healthy even blood sugar levels, eating should do nothing but alleviate the sensation of hunger.

One of my favorite snacks to tie me over between meals is this little shake. It’s rich in protein, fiber and healthy fats, which are the key elements of blood sugar stability. It also has ceylon cinnamon which is a powerful spice for increasing insulin sensitivity.
