How to consume Dark Chocolate Oats without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Begin by reducing the serving size of the Dark Chocolate Oats. A smaller portion will naturally lead to a smaller spike in glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder, into your oats. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, minimizing spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Mix in nuts or seeds, like almonds or chia seeds. Healthy fats can also slow down digestion, aiding in more stable blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber

Add fiber-rich fruits like berries or a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds to your oats. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Use Dark Chocolate Sparingly

Opt for a small amount of high-cocoa dark chocolate and mix it thoroughly to distribute the flavor, reducing the overall sugar content per serving.

Choose Low-Sugar Sweeteners

If you typically add sweeteners, consider using a natural, low-sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit to maintain sweetness without additional sugar.

Pair with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Consider having a small side of non-starchy vegetables, such as a cucumber or celery sticks, which can help balance your meal and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water or herbal tea alongside your meal to aid digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or light exercise after meals can help lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar response to understand how different modifications affect your glucose levels and adjust accordingly.
