Coffee with Milk (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Choose unsweetened coffee and avoid sugar, syrups, sweetened creamers, flavored milks, and condensed milk.

Use a smaller amount of milk or switch to an unsweetened, lower-carbohydrate milk alternative; check labels for added sugars.

Have coffee with or after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, especially one containing protein and healthy fats.

Pair coffee with a small protein-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts instead of pastries or sweet snacks.

Drink the coffee more slowly and consider a smaller serving size to reduce the speed of the rise.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it, if appropriate for you.
