How to consume coffee | croissant without glucose spikes

Eat Protein-Rich Foods

Incorporate a source of lean protein like Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small amount of nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) with your coffee and croissant to slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include avocado slices or a small serving of cheese, which can help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates from the croissant.

Opt for Whole Grain Options

If available, choose a whole grain or multigrain croissant alternative, which digests more slowly compared to regular croissants.

Include Fiber

Add a side of berries (such as strawberries or blueberries) or an apple to your meal, as fiber can help reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your coffee and croissant to aid digestion and prevent dehydration, which can affect blood sugar levels.

Consider Smaller Portions

Reduce the size of the croissant or share it with someone to minimize the amount of refined carbohydrates consumed at once.

Mind Your Coffee Additions

Avoid adding sugar or sweet syrups to your coffee. Instead, use cinnamon or a non-caloric sweetener if you prefer a less bitter taste.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use glucose more effectively and lower blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to enjoy your meal, which can prevent overeating and help regulate insulin response.

Monitor Your Carb Intake

Be mindful of other carbohydrate sources throughout your day to maintain balanced blood sugar levels overall.
