How to consume Cold Brew Coffee without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a source of fiber such as a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your cold brew to help slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Pair your cold brew with a protein-rich snack like a handful of almonds or a boiled egg to stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Opt for Low-Sugar Add-ins

Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk or cream, and sweeten with a small amount of stevia or monk fruit.

Eat a Balanced Meal First

Have a balanced meal containing protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates such as whole grain toast or oatmeal before consuming your cold brew.

Choose Smaller Portions

Limit the size of your cold brew serving to reduce the total intake of caffeine and any accompanying sugars.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before your cold brew to help with hydration and to potentially reduce the impact on your glucose levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Stir in a teaspoon of MCT oil or add a small amount of unsweetened nut butter to the mix for added satiety and slower glucose release.

Timing

Consume your cold brew during or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach to moderate the spike in glucose levels.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-minute walk, after drinking your cold brew to help utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response and adjust your cold brew consumption pattern or ingredients based on your experience to find what works best for you.
