How to consume cookie, coffee with milk and sugar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the cookie. Instead of having a whole cookie, consider eating half or a smaller piece to minimize the glucose spike.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose cookies made with whole grain ingredients, such as oats, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fat to your snack, such as a small handful of nuts or a piece of cheese. This can help slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Choose Alternative Sweeteners

Use a natural, low-calorie sweetener in your coffee instead of sugar. This reduces the sugar content while still providing sweetness.

Switch Milk Types

Use unsweetened almond milk or a similar low-sugar alternative in your coffee, which can reduce the overall sugar content.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a high-fiber food alongside your snack, such as a small apple or berries, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your snack and coffee. Staying well-hydrated can support overall digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a 10-minute walk, after consuming the snack to help your body use some of the glucose in your bloodstream more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat your snack slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel full sooner, potentially reducing the quantity you consume.

Monitor Timing

Have your snack as part of a balanced meal or ensure it's not too close to another high-carb meal to avoid stacking glucose spikes.
