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.
