How to consume black tea, croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein such as a boiled egg or a serving of Greek yogurt to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small handful of nuts. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grain

Choose a whole grain or multi-grain croissant instead of a regular one. Whole grains are digested more slowly.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a fiber-rich side like a small salad or a serving of berries. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Drink Unsweetened Tea

Ensure that your black tea is unsweetened to avoid additional sugar intake.

Incorporate Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, or bell pepper strips as a side to add volume and fiber to your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the size of your croissant to a smaller portion to reduce the amount of carbohydrates you consume in one sitting.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating to allow your body to process the food more effectively and help prevent sharp glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider having your black tea and croissant at a time when your body is more likely to efficiently manage the glucose, such as after a balanced meal or a mild physical activity.
