How to consume Coffee | Oats without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of your oats. Smaller servings can help prevent a significant spike in blood glucose levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a hard-boiled egg, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts, in your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a spoonful of nut butter, seeds like chia or flaxseeds, or a few slices of avocado to your oats. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Rolled or Steel-Cut Oats

Opt for less processed oats, such as rolled or steel-cut, which take longer to digest compared to instant oats.

Add Fiber

Include fiber-rich toppings such as berries, apple slices, or a sprinkle of flaxseeds. Fiber can slow the digestion process, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink Coffee with a Meal

Consume your coffee alongside your oats or other foods rather than on an empty stomach, to help moderate the impact on blood sugar.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your oats or in your coffee, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you are drinking enough water throughout the day, as proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume your oats and coffee in the morning or after physical activity when your body's insulin sensitivity is generally higher.

Personalize with Low-Sugar Additives

Sweeten your oats with a small amount of natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit that don’t significantly affect glucose levels.
