How to consume Chocolate Ice Creams without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the serving size of chocolate ice cream to a small amount to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Add Protein

Pair the ice cream with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or some Greek yogurt, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate Variants

Opt for dark chocolate ice cream, which typically contains less sugar than milk chocolate varieties.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a topping of berries like strawberries or raspberries, which are high in fiber and can help slow down sugar absorption.

Opt for Non-Dairy Alternatives

Try non-dairy chocolate ice creams made from almond, coconut, or soy milk, which often contain less sugar and can be easier on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating your ice cream to help you feel fuller and potentially reduce the amount you consume.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating ice cream to help your body use the sugar more effectively.

Time Your Treat

Have your ice cream as part of a balanced meal rather than as a standalone treat, to mitigate the glucose spike.

Use Natural Sweeteners

Make homemade chocolate ice cream using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, which have less impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating ice cream to understand how it affects you personally and adjust your intake accordingly.
