Coffee (French Flavor Powder, Instant, with Sugar) (1 Serving 2 Tbsp)

Use less of the sweetened French-flavor powder, or dilute it with more coffee or water to reduce the sugar per serving.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein, healthy fat, and fiber.

Pair it with a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, rather than a sugary pastry or sweet snack.

Choose plain instant coffee or unsweetened coffee and add a small amount of milk or an unsweetened milk alternative plus cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor.

If you want food with the coffee, choose plain Greek yogurt with berries, or an egg-based snack, instead of refined baked goods.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it to help reduce the post-drink rise.
