How to consume Croissant, Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like a boiled egg or a small portion of nuts to your meal. Proteins can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

Consider switching to a whole grain or multigrain croissant if available. Whole grains are digested more slowly, leading to steadier blood sugar levels.

Choose Black Coffee or Add Milk Alternatives

Skip sugar-laden creamers and add unsweetened almond milk or other low-sugar milk alternatives to your coffee.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your meal. You can sprinkle them on top of your croissant or mix them into your coffee if you're having it with a smoothie.

Control Portion Sizes

Have a smaller portion of the croissant and savor it slowly to avoid a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Include Vegetables

Add a small side of non-starchy vegetables, like a handful of cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices, which can help balance your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help you feel fuller and reduce the temptation to overeat.

Increase Physical Activity

Go for a short walk after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Your Coffee Additions

Use natural sweeteners like stevia if you need to sweeten your coffee instead of sugar or syrups.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, as this can help your body better manage the rise in blood sugar.
