How to consume Coffee, Sponge Cake without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Accompany your coffee and sponge cake with protein sources like a handful of nuts, yogurt, or a small serving of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Opt for Whole-Grain Alternatives
If possible, choose sponge cake made with whole-grain flour instead of refined flour to increase fiber content, which can moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber to Your Meal
Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as berries or chia seeds into your meal. For example, enjoy a small side of mixed berries or sprinkle chia seeds on your yogurt.
Consider Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the sponge cake to limit the sugar intake and combine it with other foods that are less likely to cause spikes.
Choose Unsweetened Coffee
Opt for black coffee or use non-dairy milk alternatives without added sugars. Avoid sweeteners or limit their use.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in the digestion process and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Incorporate a Walk Post-Meal
Light physical activity, like a short walk after eating, can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.
Mind the Timing
Consider having your coffee and sponge cake as part of a larger meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the likelihood of spikes.
Use Natural Sweeteners
If preparing the sponge cake yourself, use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of refined sugars to reduce sugar content.
