How to consume Iced Coffee With Milk And Sugar without glucose spikes

Choose Unsweetened Alternatives

Opt for unsweetened almond milk or soy milk instead of regular milk to lower sugar content.

Add Fiber

Consume a high-fiber snack or meal before or with your iced coffee, such as a handful of nuts or a small salad with leafy greens, to help slow down sugar absorption.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your drink with a protein source like Greek yogurt or a boiled egg to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Natural Sweeteners

Substitute sugar with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, which have little to no effect on blood sugar.

Reduce Portion Size

Decrease the serving size of your iced coffee to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your coffee. It may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your coffee to help dilute blood sugar concentrations and support metabolic processes.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking after drinking your coffee to help muscles utilize glucose more effectively.

Gradual Adjustments

If you're accustomed to sweetened drinks, gradually reduce the sugar content over time to help your taste buds adjust without causing a significant spike.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming iced coffee on an empty stomach; having some food beforehand can mitigate a sharp increase in blood sugar.
