How to consume Coffee With Milk, Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of poha and opt for a smaller cup of coffee with milk to lower the overall carbohydrate intake.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate sources of protein and healthy fats like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose a Lower Sugar Milk Alternative

Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk in your coffee instead of regular milk to reduce sugar content.

Opt for Whole Grains

If preparing poha at home, mix in some brown rice flakes or quinoa flakes for a more balanced dish that digests slower.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables such as peas, carrots, or bell peppers to your poha to increase fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before your meal to aid digestion and possibly reduce the desire for larger portions.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Have your coffee and poha at separate times, allowing your body to process one source of carbohydrates before introducing another.

Mindful Eating

Slow down your eating pace by chewing thoroughly and savoring flavors, which can help regulate insulin response and digestion.

Include a Side of Yogurt

If tolerated, add a small serving of plain, unsweetened yogurt to your meal to introduce probiotics and proteins.
