Iced Café Americano - Venti (Starbucks) (1 Serving)

Choose a decaf or half-caf iced Americano; caffeine can raise glucose for some people even when the drink has no sugar.

Downsize from a venti to a grande or tall, and sip it slowly rather than drinking it quickly.

Have the coffee after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

If you need a snack with it, pair it with plain Greek yogurt, eggs, almonds, or cheese rather than sweet pastries or flavored syrups.

Avoid added sweeteners, flavored sauces, sweet cream, and regular milk; choose unsweetened almond milk or a small amount of half-and-half if desired.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it and compare your response with a similar day without caffeine.
