How to consume Espresso without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consider having a small snack with protein or healthy fats, like a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese, alongside your espresso. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like a few slices of avocado or a small portion of berries with your espresso. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon in your espresso. Cinnamon has properties that may help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your espresso. Proper hydration can aid in better metabolic processes.

Choose Whole Grains

If having a snack with your espresso, opt for whole-grain options such as a small piece of whole-grain toast.

After-Meal Walk

Engage in a light physical activity, like a 10-15 minute walk after having your espresso. Physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mind Portion Size

Limit the portion size of your espresso if you are sensitive to caffeine's effect on blood sugar levels.

Opt for Unsweetened Milk Alternatives

If you add milk to your espresso, choose unsweetened almond or coconut milk to avoid added sugar.

Mindful Eating

Sit down and enjoy your espresso slowly, which can help your body process it more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body reacts and adjust your routine as needed, such as choosing different snack combinations or timing the espresso differently.
