How to consume tea with milk and sugar, zwieback without glucose spikes

Choose a Low-Sugar Sweetener

Replace sugar in your tea with a low-sugar sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. These alternatives will add sweetness without causing a spike.

Opt for Whole Milk

Use whole milk instead of skimmed or low-fat milk. Whole milk contains more fat, which slows down the absorption of sugar.

Add Protein

Include a protein source in your tea-time snack, such as a small handful of nuts or a slice of cheese. Protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Switch to Herbal or Green Tea

Consider drinking herbal or green tea without milk. These types of tea typically have less impact on blood sugar levels compared to black tea with milk and sugar.

Limit Zwieback Consumption

Reduce the amount of zwieback you consume. You can have one piece instead of multiple, or replace it with a low-carb, high-fiber cracker.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include foods rich in healthy fats, such as avocado or a spoonful of nut butter. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and help manage blood sugar levels.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in your tea. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Hydrate Before Eating

Drink a glass of water before you start your tea time. This can help to slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Practice Portion Control

Be mindful of the portions of each food item you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a more manageable rise in blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and drink. Eating slowly can give your body time to process and absorb the nutrients more gradually, leading to a more stable blood sugar level.
