How to consume black tea, cookie without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats like a handful of nuts or a small piece of cheese when consuming the cookie. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grain or Low-Sugar Cookies

Opt for cookies made with whole grains or those labeled as low-sugar or sugar-free to reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Drink Unsweetened Black Tea

Ensure that your black tea is unsweetened, as additional sugars can contribute to a glucose spike.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Consider adding foods high in fiber, such as a small serving of berries or a slice of whole-grain bread, to help slow digestion and reduce blood sugar increases.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of the cookie to minimize the sugar intake, perhaps by eating half a cookie instead of a whole one.

Add a Small Salad or Vegetables

Including a small side of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber or a leafy green salad, can help mitigate the spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before or after your snack to help with digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Consider a Balanced Snack

Instead of just having a cookie, combine it with other low-sugar options like Greek yogurt or a boiled egg to provide a more balanced snack.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to the timing of your snack and try to consume it during or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce glucose spikes.
