How to consume coffee | croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like a boiled egg or a handful of almonds to your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and prevent a spike in glucose levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a spoonful of nut butter, which can help stabilize blood sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods, like a small portion of berries or a side salad, which can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.

Choose Whole-Grain Options

If available, opt for a whole-grain version of the croissant or a whole grain-based pastry to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Adequate hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Consider eating a smaller portion of the croissant to reduce the carbohydrate load and potential for a glucose spike.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Drink Black Coffee

If you typically add sugar or cream to your coffee, try drinking it black or with a sugar substitute to minimize additional sugar intake.

Try a Balanced Breakfast Option

On days when you anticipate having a croissant, have a balanced breakfast earlier in the day that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fats to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your body's hunger and satiety signals, which can prevent overeating and help regulate blood sugar.
