How to consume Hot Cocoa Milk without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of hot cocoa milk you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will cause a smaller impact on your blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Pair your hot cocoa milk with a source of protein such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Include a fiber-rich food like a small serving of berries or a slice of whole-grain toast. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot cocoa made with dark chocolate or cocoa powder that contains higher cocoa content and less sugar.

Use Alternative Sweeteners

Consider using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of sugar to sweeten your hot cocoa.

Drink Water Beforehand

Have a glass of water before consuming hot cocoa milk to help fill you up and potentially reduce your consumption of high-sugar beverages.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after consuming hot cocoa milk to help lower blood sugar levels.

Timing of Consumption

Enjoy your hot cocoa milk with a meal rather than on its own, as the presence of other foods can slow down sugar absorption.

Healthy Add-ins

Enhance your hot cocoa with cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor without adding extra sugar.

Monitor Regularly

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds and adjust your strategies accordingly.
