How to consume Coffee, Sponge Cake without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consider eating a small portion of nuts or a slice of avocado alongside your sponge cake. The protein and healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Opt for Whole Grain Alternatives

If possible, choose sponge cake made with whole grain flour instead of refined flour. The fiber content can help moderate the rise in blood glucose levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your cake with a salad or some vegetables like carrots or cucumber. The fiber can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Moderate Portion Sizes

Keep the portion size of the sponge cake small to limit the amount of sugar intake in one sitting.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Instead of pairing coffee with your sponge cake, consider having water or unsweetened herbal tea. This can help you avoid additional sugar intake from sweetened beverages.

Use Natural Sweeteners

If you’re making sponge cake at home, consider using sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit that do not spike blood sugar as much as refined sugar.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after eating your sponge cake to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing of Consumption

Eating sponge cake as part of a meal rather than on its own can help reduce the spike. The other foods in your meal can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate as a Topping

If you like adding toppings to your sponge cake, consider using dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. It has less sugar than milk chocolate and adds a rich flavor.

Gradual Reduction

Gradually reduce the sugar content in your sponge cake recipe over time to help your palate adjust to less sweetness, which can help in reducing glucose spikes.
