Spanish Coffee with Soy Milk (1 Medium) and Croissant (1 Medium Croissant)

Have the croissant after a protein- and fibre-rich breakfast component, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or tofu scramble, rather than on an empty stomach.

Choose unsweetened soy milk and avoid added sugar, syrups, sweetened toppings, or sweetened coffee creamers.

Reduce the croissant portion—for example, have half—and pair it with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.

Replace the croissant more often with a breakfast based on eggs, plain yogurt with berries, chia pudding, or tofu with vegetables.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and avoid remaining sedentary for the next couple of hours.

If possible, eat vegetables or a salad with olive oil before the coffee and pastry to slow the rise in blood sugar.
