How to consume Hot Chocolate without glucose spikes

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot chocolate made with dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Dark chocolate has less sugar and may have a gentler impact on blood glucose levels.

Use Low-Fat Milk

Prepare your hot chocolate with low-fat or plant-based milk options such as almond milk or oat milk. These choices can help in managing glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Mix in a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds into your hot chocolate. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Pair your hot chocolate with a small serving of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Added Sugar

Reduce the amount of added sugar in your hot chocolate. You might use a natural sweetener like stevia or a small amount of honey instead.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water before consuming hot chocolate. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Smaller Portions

Consume a smaller portion of hot chocolate to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your hot chocolate. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Exercise

Engage in a light physical activity such as a 10-minute walk after drinking hot chocolate to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Check your blood sugar levels before and after consuming hot chocolate to understand how it affects you and adjust your intake accordingly.
