How to consume coffee, dates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, when consuming dates to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like almond butter or a small serving of avocado to your meal to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're consuming dates as part of a meal, include whole grains like oats or quinoa to provide additional fiber, which can help stabilize glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help manage your body's response to sugar intake.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size of dates to minimize the glucose spike. Stick to a small serving, such as 2-3 dates per snack.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers into your snack or meal to add fiber and volume, aiding in slower sugar absorption.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before consuming dates to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Choose Dark Coffee

If you’re consuming coffee, opt for black or use a small amount of unsweetened almond milk to avoid added sugars.

Time Your Meals

Consume dates as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food to give your body time to process and respond to the sugars more effectively.
