How to consume Hot Cocoa Milk without glucose spikes

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot cocoa made with dark chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa, as it typically contains less sugar compared to milk chocolate.

Use Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Prepare your hot cocoa using unsweetened cocoa powder and add a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to minimize sugar content.

Select Low-Fat Milk

Use low-fat or skim milk, or consider plant-based milk alternatives like almond or soy milk, which may have less sugar and calories.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a source of fiber, such as a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds, to your hot cocoa. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Pair with Nuts

Consume a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, along with your hot cocoa. They provide healthy fats and protein, which can help blunt sugar spikes.

Use Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your hot cocoa. Cinnamon has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Avoid Overconsumption

Limit the portion size of your hot cocoa. Enjoying it in moderation can help manage the impact on your blood sugar.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after drinking your hot cocoa to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively.

Hydrate

Drink a glass of water before or after consuming hot cocoa to aid digestion and help your body process sugar more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to your body's response and adjust your recipe or consumption timing based on how your glucose levels react.
