How to consume coffee, dates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine coffee and dates with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a small serving of yogurt, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the number of dates you consume in one sitting. Instead of eating several, try having just one or two dates to minimize the impact on your glucose levels.

Choose Fiber-Rich Accompaniments

Add high-fiber foods like a small apple or a bowl of berries. The fiber content can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Opt for Low-Sugar Alternatives

If you add sugar or sweeteners to your coffee, try cutting back or using natural sweeteners like stevia.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water alongside your snack to help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Consume Post-Exercise

Eating dates after physical activity can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Try Smaller Coffee Servings

Consider reducing the size of your coffee serving, especially if you use sweeteners or creamers.

Focus on Timing

Consume dates earlier in the day, when your body’s insulin sensitivity is generally higher, to minimize glucose spikes.

Incorporate Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal can help manage glucose levels.

Monitor Your Response

Use a continuous glucose monitor or keep a food journal to understand how coffee and dates affect your glucose and adjust accordingly.
