Diabetes and Juice: The Smart Way 🩸🧃
Hey juice fam! If you have diabetes or insulin resistance, juice can still fit, but it comes down to timing, portion size, and ingredients. Fruit contains natural sugar, and juice digests faster than whole fruit because it has less fiber so you’ll naturally receive a spike in sugar since you’re putting it into your bloodstream fast. This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing. There’s tons of benefits that are coming with that spike not to mention it’s a spike the body can handle much better than a processed sweets type of spike. Pro tip: For juices that are higher on the sugar side (fruit based juices) sip them slow instead of chugging. The juices are only 8oz and on average only contain 12g of sugar so not that bad to start but if you sip them slow you really have nothing to worry about. You more than likely won’t even see a spike. With your veggie based juices, these sit as low as 7g per sugar a bottle for our Greenhouse & Beauty Juices.
