How to consume Croissant, Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your meal to help slow down the absorption of sugars. Consider having a handful of almonds, a small serving of Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg alongside your croissant.

Choose Whole-Grain or Multigrain Options

If available, opt for a whole-grain or multigrain croissant, which can help provide more fiber and nutrients, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Limit Portion Size

Consider reducing the size of your croissant or sharing it with someone else to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Drink Unsweetened Coffee

Enjoy your espresso without added sugar or syrups. If you prefer a milder taste, consider adding a splash of milk or a non-dairy alternative without added sugars.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of fiber-rich vegetables or fruits, such as berries or an apple, to your meal. These foods can help slow down digestion and reduce the spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating, as staying hydrated can support better digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to register fullness and better manage blood sugar levels.

Try Cinnamon

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your coffee or on top of your croissant. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Keep a Consistent Schedule

Try to eat meals and snacks at regular times throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
