High-Fiber, Low-Sugar Smoothies with MCT for Your Pre-Fast Meal

When you fast, there's always a pivotal last meal that sets the tone for your fasting period. The choice of this meal is crucial in helping you sustain your fast comfortably and effectively, with a focus on minimizing sugar to avoid spikes in insulin levels. This careful selection helps maintain steady blood sugar, contributing to a smoother fasting experience.

Adding MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides), particularly Caprylic acid C8, to this meal, ideally eaten as an early dinner or a late lunch, initiates a mild dietary ketosis that optimally prepares you for your fast. This strategic approach helps maintain a sense of fullness and energy, making the fasting experience more manageable. Enjoy a delicious smoothie packed with high-fiber, low-sugar ingredients that not only tantalises your palate but also optimally prepares your body for the fasting hours ahead.
