How to consume Black Tea, Honey without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats when consuming black tea with honey. For example, add a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal.

Use a Smaller Amount of Honey

Reduce the quantity of honey you use. Sometimes just a teaspoon is enough to sweeten your tea without causing a significant glucose spike.

Opt for Whole-Grain Snacks

Include whole-grain snacks like oatmeal or whole-wheat crackers alongside your tea to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, to your diet when you're planning to have black tea with honey.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Pair your tea with fruits that have lower natural sugar content, such as berries like strawberries or blueberries.

Add a Splash of Milk or Almond Milk

Include a small amount of milk or a milk alternative like almond milk in your tea to add protein and fat.

Drink Water First

Hydrate yourself by drinking a glass of water before having tea with honey to help moderate the sugar absorption.

Eat a Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal includes a balanced mix of protein, fat, and fiber before having black tea with honey.

Go for Herbal Teas

Occasionally swap black tea for herbal teas that do not require any sweetening.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of both the tea and honey to keep your intake in check.
