How to consume Hot Chocolate without glucose spikes

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot chocolate made with dark chocolate or cocoa powder that contains at least 70% cacao. This typically has less sugar and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Use Low-Sugar Milk Alternatives

Prepare your hot chocolate with unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk instead of regular milk to reduce sugar content.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Additions

Add a fiber supplement or a spoonful of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or psyllium husk to your hot chocolate to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add a Protein Source

Include a protein-rich ingredient such as a scoop of protein powder or a small amount of Greek yogurt to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil, nut butter, or avocado to your hot chocolate to promote slower digestion.

Limit Sweeteners

If you need to sweeten your hot chocolate, use a small amount of natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, which have minimal impact on blood sugar.

Balance with a Low-Sugar Snack

Pair your hot chocolate with a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to provide additional protein and healthy fats.

Portion Control

Keep your serving size of hot chocolate small to reduce the overall sugar load.

Drink Water Beforehand

Have a glass of water before drinking hot chocolate to help with fullness and reduce the likelihood of overconsumption.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk or do some light exercises after consuming hot chocolate to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively and prevent a spike.
