How to consume Americano Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal by including boiled eggs or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as a handful of almonds or a slice of avocado. Fats can help moderate the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Consider mixing in a portion of vegetables like spinach or broccoli with your poha to increase fiber intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use whole-grain poha instead of the regular version. Whole grains typically have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Watch Portion Sizes

Reduce the portion size of poha to limit carbohydrate intake without sacrificing satisfaction. Pair it with other nutrient-dense, lower-carbohydrate foods.

Drink with Milk or an Alternative

Instead of black Americano coffee, try having it with a splash of milk or a low-calorie milk alternative, which can help blunt the impact on glucose levels.

Timed Consumption

Consume your coffee and poha at times when your body is more insulin-sensitive, such as after a period of physical activity, to better manage blood sugar responses.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body regulate blood sugar more effectively.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your poha or stir it into your coffee. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Monitor Caffeine Intake

Caffeine can impact blood sugar levels, so consider gradually reducing the amount of coffee if you're sensitive to its effects on glucose.
