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

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Consume high-fiber foods like oatmeal or whole grain crackers alongside the tea. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Healthy Proteins

Include a source of protein such as almonds, Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg with your tea. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small serving of nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans). Fats can help moderate glucose absorption.

Control Portion Size

Limit the amount of tea powder you use to reduce the overall sugar intake and minimize the spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming the tea. This can help with satiety and potentially reduce the rate of sugar absorption.

Add Natural Sweeteners

Consider reducing the amount of sugar and exploring natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit that don't contribute to glucose spikes.

Opt for a Balanced Snack

If the tea is part of a snack, ensure the snack is balanced with complex carbohydrates like quinoa or barley, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Consume Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your tea, as it's known to potentially improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume the tea after a meal rather than on an empty stomach, as the presence of other foods can help buffer the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Physically Active

Engage in light physical activity, like walking, after consuming the tea to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
