How to consume americano coffee, medjool dates without glucose spikes

Hydrate Adequately

Drink a glass of water before consuming your americano coffee and medjool dates to help manage blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, which are high in fiber and healthy fats, to your snack. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're pairing your coffee and dates with a meal, include whole grains like quinoa or oats to help stabilize your glucose levels.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or Greek yogurt, to accompany your snack for better blood sugar control.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Reduce the number of dates you consume in one sitting to lessen the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add a Vegetable

Include a low-carbohydrate vegetable, such as cucumber or celery sticks, to your snack for additional fiber and nutrients without spiking blood sugar.

Time Your Coffee

Consider having your americano after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize glucose spikes.

Practice Portion Control

Enjoy your americano in moderation and avoid adding sugar or high-calorie creamers.

Exercise Moderation

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming your snack to help your body process sugars more efficiently.

Consider Herbal Teas

Occasionally replace your americano with herbal teas that don’t contribute to glucose spikes, such as chamomile or peppermint.
