Chocolate Milk (Lowfat) (1 Cup)

Reduce the serving size of low-fat chocolate milk, and drink it slowly rather than all at once.

Have it with a protein- and fat-containing snack such as a boiled egg, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or plain Greek yogurt.

Choose a lower-sugar chocolate milk, or make your own with unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, and minimal added sweetener.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats.

Add fiber alongside it, such as chia seeds mixed into plain yogurt or a small serving of berries.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it to help blunt the rise.
