How to consume Americano Coffee, Chocolate Croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consider having a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your Americano and chocolate croissant. The protein and healthy fats in nuts can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Include a small side of berries like strawberries or blueberries, which can help moderate blood sugar levels due to their fiber content.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

If available, opt for a whole grain or multigrain version of the croissant to increase fiber intake and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Limit Additional Sweeteners

Avoid adding sugar or syrups to your Americano. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider using a natural sweetener like stevia.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating and drinking to give your body a chance to process the food more gradually, which can help flatten glucose spikes.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before consuming your coffee and croissant to help with digestion and potentially slow sugar absorption.

Incorporate a Small Salad

A small side salad with leafy greens and a light vinaigrette can add fiber and nutrients to your meal, aiding in the control of blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

A short walk or light physical activity after eating can help your body use up some of the glucose and reduce spikes.

Monitor Portion Size

If possible, opt for a smaller size of the croissant to naturally reduce the carbohydrate and sugar intake in one sitting.
