Coffee with oatmilk (1 piece)

Choose an unsweetened, lower-carbohydrate milk alternative such as almond milk or unsweetened soy milk instead of oatmilk.

Use a smaller amount of oatmilk, or dilute it with water or ice, while avoiding flavored syrups and added sugar.

Have coffee alongside protein and fiber, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or chia seeds, rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Avoid pairing the coffee with refined pastries, sweetened cereals, or other sugary breakfast items.

Drink the coffee after a balanced meal instead of before eating, especially if you notice larger rises when having it fasted.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it to help reduce the post-drink rise.
