Reply To: Smoothies with gestational diabetes

[Ryann Kipping]

Hey, Sara! Smoothies can definitely still work with GDM… however, it is going to be super important you always have protein in it, i.e. greek yogurt and chia seeds. The only true way to know if this smoothie + others are good for your body is to test your glucose numbers at home after eating one. Do you have an at home monitoring kit? It would be great to get one and check if not. They aren’t very expensive and can be found on Amazon!
