How to consume Coffee With Sugar without glucose spikes

Switch to Natural Sweeteners

Use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of sugar. These options have minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as a small serving of nuts or a hard-boiled egg alongside your coffee. Protein helps slow down the absorption of sugar.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon into your coffee. Cinnamon can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Choose Unsweetened Alternatives

Opt for unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk instead of regular milk, as these have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your coffee with a fiber-rich food like a small apple, pear, or a handful of berries. Fiber slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Drink Water First

Have a glass of water before drinking your coffee. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Dark Chocolate

If you crave something sweet with your coffee, choose a small piece of dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. It contains less sugar and has beneficial compounds.

Reduce Sugar Gradually

Gradually reduce the amount of sugar you add to your coffee. Over time, your taste buds will adjust, and you'll find you need less sweetness.

Choose Low-Sugar Snacks

If you need a snack with your coffee, go for options like Greek yogurt (unsweetened), a small portion of hummus with veggie sticks, or a handful of nuts.

Monitor Portions

Be mindful of the portion size of your coffee and the amount of added sugar. Smaller servings mean less sugar intake.
