How to consume Coffee with brown sugar without glucose spikes

Use Less Sugar

Gradually reduce the amount of brown sugar you add to your coffee. This can help lower the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your coffee. Cinnamon has been shown to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Switch to a Sugar Substitute

Consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, which do not affect your blood sugar levels as sugar does.

Include Protein

Pair your coffee with a small protein-rich snack, such as a handful of almonds or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber

If you have your coffee with a meal, include fiber-rich foods like oats or whole grain toast. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Drink Coffee with Milk or Cream

Adding a bit of milk or cream to your coffee can help slow the absorption of sugar, as fats and proteins can moderate the glucose response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your coffee. Proper hydration can support overall metabolic processes, including glucose management.

Monitor Portion Size

Be mindful of the size of your coffee serving. Larger portions can lead to increased sugar content.

Choose Dark Roast

Opt for a dark roast coffee, which may naturally have a lower caffeine content and could affect blood sugar less than lighter roasts.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after consuming coffee. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
