How to consume Hot Chocolate Cocoa (Made With Whole Milk) without glucose spikes
Add Fiber
Incorporate a source of fiber, such as ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, or a small portion of oats, to your hot chocolate. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.
Use Dark Chocolate
Opt for dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content (70% or more) instead of using traditional cocoa powder. Dark chocolate has less sugar and may have additional health benefits.
Replace Whole Milk
Consider using a milk alternative, such as unsweetened almond milk or soy milk, which can have less impact on your blood sugar levels compared to whole milk.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein, such as a scoop of protein powder, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts, to your hot chocolate. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Limit Sugar
Reduce the amount of added sugar or sweeteners in your hot chocolate. Experiment with natural sweeteners, like stevia or monk fruit, which can provide sweetness without the spike.
Drink with a Balanced Meal
Consume your hot chocolate as part of a meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber. This combination can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your hot chocolate. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of your hot chocolate to limit the overall amount of sugar consumed in one sitting.
Cinnamon Addition
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your hot chocolate. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before and after having your hot chocolate to help with digestion and glucose management.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
