How to consume Hot Chocolate without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume your hot chocolate alongside a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of avocado toast. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for a hot chocolate made with dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder, which typically contains less sugar than milk chocolate versions.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a source of fiber into your meal, like a small serving of oatmeal or a piece of whole-grain toast, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Low-Sugar Alternatives

Replace regular milk with unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or another low-sugar plant-based milk to reduce the sugar content.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of your hot chocolate to decrease the total amount of sugar consumed.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your hot chocolate. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

Drink Water Before

Have a glass of water before consuming hot chocolate to help dilute the sugar impact and improve hydration.

Include a Side of Berries

Enjoy a small serving of berries, such as strawberries or raspberries, which are low in sugar and provide additional fiber.

Exercise Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after having your hot chocolate to help your muscles utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Try to enjoy your hot chocolate after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help minimize spikes in blood sugar levels.
