How to consume tea (lemon flavored, instant powder, with added ascorbic acid, sweetened with sugar) without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, a boiled egg, or a serving of Greek yogurt when drinking the tea. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Less Sugar

Gradually reduce the amount of instant powder you use or switch to a version with less sugar. Alternatively, use a sugar substitute like stevia.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your tea with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small apple to slow down sugar absorption.

Drink with a Meal

Consume the tea as part of a balanced meal that includes a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables.

Consider Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats to your diet like avocado slices, a few olives, or a spoonful of nut butter, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a short walk after drinking the tea, to help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.

Use Fresh Lemon

Replace the instant powder with fresh lemon juice and a small amount of natural sweetener to reduce the amount of processed sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having the tea with a snack, opt for whole grain options like whole grain toast or crackers.

Monitor Portions

Pay attention to the serving size of the instant tea powder and keep it within reasonable limits to avoid excessive sugar intake.
