How to consume Hot Chocolate Cocoa (Made With Whole Milk) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the amount of hot chocolate you drink. Consider using a smaller cup to limit your intake and help minimize the glucose spike.
Add Protein
Pair your hot chocolate with a small portion of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to help slow the absorption of sugar.
Incorporate Fiber
Include a source of fiber, like a small serving of berries or an apple, alongside your hot chocolate to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Dark Cocoa
Opt for a version of hot chocolate made with dark cocoa powder, which typically contains less sugar and more antioxidants than regular cocoa.
Cinnamon Addition
Sprinkle cinnamon into your hot chocolate. Cinnamon can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.
Swap Milk
Use a milk alternative with lower carbohydrate content, such as unsweetened almond milk, to decrease the sugar content of your hot chocolate.
Exercise Post-Consumption
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after having your hot chocolate to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.
Timing Matters
Drink your hot chocolate as part of a larger, balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the likelihood of a significant glucose spike.
Sweetener Switch
If possible, use a natural, low-calorie sweetener instead of sugar to sweeten your hot chocolate.
Monitor Consistency
Be mindful of the temperature and consistency of your hot chocolate; a thicker or cooler beverage may slow down sugar absorption.
