Coffee (Instant Powder) (1 Tsp Dry) and Coffee (Instant Powder) (1 Tsp Dry)

Choose plain instant coffee without added sugar, flavored creamers, or sweetened milk powder.

Use a smaller serving or make the coffee weaker, especially if you notice a repeatable rise after larger cups.

Drink it with or after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair coffee with a protein- and fiber-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, nuts, or chia pudding instead of sweet pastries or cereal.

Try decaffeinated instant coffee or half-caf; caffeine itself can raise glucose for some people.

Avoid adding sugar, syrups, honey, or sweetened plant milks; use unsweetened milk or an unsweetened alternative if desired.
