How to consume croissant, english flat white without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a handful of almonds, when having a croissant and flat white. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or a small serving of berries. These can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for a whole grain or multigrain croissant alternative, which can have a more gradual impact on blood sugar.

Drink Water First

Before consuming your meal, drink a glass of water. This can help you feel fuller and may reduce the need to consume additional sugar-laden snacks.

Go for Smaller Portions

Consider having a smaller portion of the croissant to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or some light physical activity after eating can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Portion of Milk

If possible, request or make a flat white with a smaller portion of milk or switch to unsweetened almond milk to lessen the sugar content.

Experiment with Timing

Try not to consume the croissant and flat white on an empty stomach. Having them after a balanced meal may help buffer the blood sugar response.

Stay Mindful of Sweeteners

If you add sweeteners to your flat white, opt for natural, lower-impact alternatives like stevia or monk fruit.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of avocado or nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar levels.
