How to consume Americano Coffee, Chocolate Muffin without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a small serving of Greek yogurt, alongside your muffin and coffee. This can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Choose Whole Grain Versions

Opt for a whole grain or bran muffin instead of a typical chocolate muffin. Whole grains are digested more slowly, which can help prevent spikes.

Add Fiber

Increase fiber intake by adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your coffee or consuming them separately. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can support better blood sugar control.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon into your Americano or on your muffin. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar spikes.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider consuming half of the muffin and pairing it with another low-sugar snack or meal component, which can help reduce the overall sugar intake at once.

Time Your Intake Wisely

Have your coffee and muffin as part of a larger balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to moderate the impact on your blood sugar.

Opt for Dark Chocolate

If possible, select a muffin that has dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, or add a small piece of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content to your meal. Dark chocolate has a lower sugar content.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

After eating, take a short walk or engage in light physical activity to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds and make adjustments. Consider reducing the frequency of having the muffin and coffee combination if it consistently causes high spikes.
