How to consume Hot Chocolate without glucose spikes

Balance with Protein

Pair your hot chocolate with a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a small piece of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber

Include high-fiber foods in your meal, like a small serving of oatmeal or a slice of whole-grain bread. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot chocolate made with dark chocolate or cocoa powder that has lower sugar content. Dark chocolate often has less impact on blood sugar levels compared to milk chocolate.

Use Low-Sugar Alternatives

Prepare hot chocolate using unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milks with no added sugars. Consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit instead of sugar.

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of your hot chocolate to minimize sugar intake. A smaller portion means less sugar will enter your system at once.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water with your hot chocolate. This can help dilute the sugar and slow down its absorption.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, post-consumption. Exercise can help your body use glucose more efficiently, reducing spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Pair your drink with a small portion of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado or a spoonful of peanut butter, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Enjoy your hot chocolate as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to temper blood sugar fluctuations.

Mindful Eating

Savor your hot chocolate slowly. Taking your time to drink it can help prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
