Coffee with coconut milk (1 piece)

Choose unsweetened coconut milk with no added sugar, syrups, or sweetened creamers; compare labels for total carbohydrate per serving.

Use a smaller amount of coconut milk or dilute it with water or unsweetened almond milk to reduce the carbohydrate load.

Have the coffee with a protein- and fat-containing option such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of nuts rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Avoid adding sugar, honey, flavored syrups, or sweet toppings; use cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a non-caloric sweetener if needed.

Drink the coffee after or alongside a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein, rather than as a standalone drink.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after having the coffee to help blunt the rise.
