How to consume coffee, dates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume dates with a protein source, such as a handful of almonds or a small serving of Greek yogurt, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a spoonful of chia seeds into your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Fiber-Rich Foods

Eat high-fiber foods like an apple or a small bowl of berries alongside your dates. Fiber helps slow sugar absorption.

Limit Portion Size

Be mindful of the quantity of dates you consume. Keeping the portion small can help manage glucose spikes.

Drink with Unsweetened Additions

If you enjoy coffee, consider drinking it black, or add unsweetened almond milk or a dash of cinnamon instead of sugar or sweetened creamers.

Include Legumes

Add legumes, such as a small serving of chickpeas or lentils, to your diet. These can help modulate blood sugar responses due to their nutritional profile.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grains like quinoa or barley in meals surrounding your date consumption. These foods have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach or bell peppers, in your meals. These vegetables help balance your blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

A short walk or light physical activity after consuming dates can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively, minimizing spikes.
