If you’re taking a GLP-1 medication—like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro—you’re already taking a powerful step toward better health. These medications help manage blood sugar and support weight loss by slowing digestion and reducing appetite.

But what you eat and drink still matters—maybe even more. The right foods can help reduce side effects, keep your energy up, and support your overall progress. In this post, we’ll walk through 4 simple eating tips, plus offer some smoothie inspiration (with zero added sugar) that fits easily into your GLP-1 lifestyle.

1. Start with Protein & Veggies

GLP-1 meds slow down digestion, which means you feel full sooner and stay full longer. To work with this, build meals around lean proteins and fiber-rich vegetables.

Try making at least half your plate veggies, then add a protein like:

• Grilled chicken or turkey
• Beans or lentils
• Tofu or tempeh
• Eggs or egg whites
• Fish or seafood
• Avocado (for fiber + healthy fats)

These foods not only help keep you satisfied—they also support stable energy and digestion.

2. Hydrate Well & Choose Smart Drinks

With a slower digestive system, hydration becomes extra important. But here’s the catch: many people on GLP-1s feel less thirsty and forget to drink enough.

Aim for 6–8 glasses of water daily. Other smart options include:

• Unsweetened herbal teas
• Coconut water or bone broth
• Light smoothies with no added sugar

At Fruve, we created our Super Smoothies and Super Waters to support hydration and nourishment—with zero added sugar and no preservatives. They’re a simple way to enjoy something flavorful while staying in balance.

3. Limit Heavy, Sugary Foods

Since digestion is slower on GLP-1s, greasy or overly sweet foods can trigger nausea or discomfort. These are good foods to cut back on anyway—especially if weight loss is a goal.

Try to reduce:

• Sodas and sugary drinks
• Fried and fast food
• Baked sweets and candy

For context: a 12-oz soda can contain over 150 calories and 39g of sugar. Swapping that out for a smoothie or sparkling water with zero added sugar can make a big difference—without feeling like you’re giving something up.

4. Embrace Smaller Portions & Balanced Snacks

GLP-1s change the way you feel hunger and fullness. Large meals might feel like too much, so smaller portions spaced throughout the day can work better.

Focus on nutrient-dense snacks like:

• Plain or low-sugar Greek yogurt
• A handful of nuts or seeds
• A hard-boiled egg
• Half a smoothie with protein or fiber

The goal is to listen to your body and avoid eating just out of habit. Balanced snacks can go a long way.

Simple Shifts, Real Support

When you’re on a GLP-1 medication, what you eat and drink can really shape how you feel. By staying hydrated, focusing on whole foods, and embracing smaller meals, you’ll give your body what it needs to thrive.

And when you need something quick, light, and satisfying—especially on days when your appetite is low—nutrient-rich smoothies without added sugar can be a helpful go-to.
