How to consume Americano Coffee, Croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consider pairing your meal with a protein-rich food like a boiled egg or a small portion of cottage cheese to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as a handful of almonds or a tablespoon of chia seeds. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If available, choose a whole-grain croissant or a similar whole-grain pastry alternative to decrease the glucose spike.

Drink with Fiber

Have a fiber-rich beverage like a small smoothie with spinach or mixed berries. This can help moderate the absorption of sugar.

Include Veggies

Enjoy some non-starchy vegetables as a side, such as cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes, to help balance the meal.

Hydrate with Water

Drink a glass of water before and after your meal to aid digestion and better manage glucose levels.

Choose Americano Wisely

Opt for an Americano with a splash of milk or unsweetened almond milk instead of sugar-laden creamers or syrups.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Consider having a smaller portion of the croissant or share it to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Walk Post-Meal

Engage in a short walk after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a teaspoon of vinegar to a glass of water and drink it before your meal to potentially improve insulin sensitivity.
