How to consume Bagel With Cream Cheese, Latte Coffee without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Multigrain Bagels

Opt for whole grain or multigrain bagels instead of refined white bagels. These have more fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Eat only half a bagel instead of a whole one. Smaller portions will have a lesser impact on your blood sugar.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein into your meal. Consider adding smoked salmon or a slice of turkey to your bagel. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Replace some or all of the cream cheese with a healthier fat option like avocado. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Nut Butter

Instead of cream cheese, try spreading natural almond or peanut butter on your bagel. These options are rich in protein and healthy fats.

Choose a Smaller Latte

Opt for a smaller size latte to reduce the amount of milk and sugar you consume. You can also choose unsweetened almond milk or soy milk as a lower-carb alternative.

No Added Sugar

Avoid adding extra sugar to your latte. If you need sweetness, consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.

Eat Vegetables

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, or a small salad with your meal. These can help balance your meal by providing fiber and essential nutrients.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a fiber supplement or sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds on your bagel or in your latte. Fiber helps slow the absorption of carbs.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating. This can help you feel full and reduce the quantity of food you consume.

Timing

Have your bagel and latte as part of a larger meal that includes protein and fiber-rich foods, rather than as a standalone snack. This can help moderate the spike in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help your body use glucose more effectively.
