How to consume Americano Coffee, Chocolate Muffin without glucose spikes

Opt for a Smaller Portion

Reduce the size of the chocolate muffin or consider sharing it with someone else to cut down on carbohydrates and sugars.

Add Protein and Fiber

Pair your snack with a source of protein or fiber, such as a handful of almonds or a small serving of Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

If available, opt for a muffin made with whole grains or oats, which are gentler on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water alongside your Americano to help with digestion and reduce the concentration of sugars in your bloodstream.

Include a Cinnamon Sprinkle

Add a dash of cinnamon to your coffee, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower glucose levels.

Walk After Eating

Take a brisk walk for 10-20 minutes after your snack to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Consider Sugar-Free or Dark Chocolate

If you have the option, choose a muffin with dark chocolate or one made with sugar alternatives to reduce sugar intake.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to savor your snack, which can prevent overeating and help with better digestion.

Monitor the Timing

Try having your coffee and muffin as part of a balanced meal rather than a standalone snack to minimize spikes.

Experiment with Coffee Add-Ins

If you add milk or sugar to your Americano, consider using unsweetened plant-based milk or a zero-calorie sweetener to reduce sugar content.
