How to consume Black coffee | Black coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your black coffee to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber Intake

Incorporate fiber-rich snacks like a small apple or a handful of berries to help moderate glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming black coffee to help dilute and process the caffeine more effectively.

Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fat, such as a slice of avocado or a spoonful of chia seeds, to slow down the absorption of caffeine.

Timing

Avoid consuming black coffee on an empty stomach. Have it after a meal or snack that includes whole grains, like a small serving of oatmeal or a whole-grain toast.

Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your coffee. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Portions

Stick to a moderate portion of coffee. Excessive caffeine can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after drinking black coffee to help balance blood sugar levels.

Regular Meals

Maintain a consistent eating schedule with balanced meals to avoid sudden drops and spikes in blood sugar when consuming black coffee.

Mindful Brewing

Opt for a lighter roast, as it generally contains less caffeine compared to a darker roast.
