How to consume Hot Chocolate without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein when you have hot chocolate, such as a small handful of nuts or a piece of cheese. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or ground flaxseeds into your diet. You can sprinkle them on yogurt or add them to smoothies.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for hot chocolate made with dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa, as it typically has less sugar than milk chocolate.

Go for Unsweetened Cocoa

Use unsweetened cocoa powder to make your hot chocolate and sweeten it with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water alongside your hot chocolate. This can help dilute the sugar concentration in your bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats to your meal or snack, such as avocado or a few olives, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Size

Keep your hot chocolate serving size moderate. Consider using a smaller cup or preparing half a serving.

Enjoy with a Balanced Meal

If possible, have hot chocolate as part of a balanced meal that includes whole grains, lean protein, and vegetables.

Opt for Almond or Coconut Milk

Use unsweetened almond or coconut milk instead of regular milk to reduce sugar content and add a bit of healthy fat.

Walk After Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after drinking hot chocolate to help your body use the sugar more efficiently.
