Hey there! Yeah, when I first started clearvite, I took it as a "shot" and it would always spike me. Karissa told me to combine it with some other food and now It does well for me and won't spike me when I put it in my breakfast protein shake (Truvani chocolate, clearvite chocolate, collagen, fiber, MCT oil). So make sure you have some good fats and protein with it to help ease it into your digestive system. :-)
