How to consume americano coffee, medjool dates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consuming foods like nuts or a small portion of Greek yogurt alongside your meal can help moderate glucose spikes by slowing down the absorption of sugars.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds or berries with your meal to slow down the digestion process.

Consider Portion Control

Reduce the number of medjool dates you consume in one sitting to limit the overall sugar intake.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your coffee and dates to help slow down digestion and reduce the concentration of sugars.

Timing of Consumption

Consider having your coffee and dates as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize glucose spikes.

Use a Smaller Coffee

Opt for a smaller size of americano to reduce caffeine and potential impact on blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your dates or coffee, as it may help in improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

Choose Decaf Options

If caffeine is a concern, try decaffeinated americano to see if it affects your glucose differently.

Incorporate a Pre-Meal Walk

Engage in a short walk before your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels effectively.

Mindful Eating

Chew your food slowly and savor each bite to enhance digestion and possibly reduce glucose spikes.
