Latte Coffee (1 Medium) and Latte Coffee (1 Medium)

Choose an unsweetened latte and avoid flavored syrups, sugar, honey, or sweetened whipped toppings.

Have the latte with a protein-rich snack, such as plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, or a small handful of nuts, rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Use milk with more protein and fat, such as unsweetened dairy milk or unsweetened soy milk, instead of sweetened plant milks or condensed milk.

Order a smaller size or split a large latte into two servings to reduce the caffeine and carbohydrate load at one time.

Drink the latte after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats—for example, eggs with spinach and avocado.

If caffeine seems to trigger the dip, switch to half-caf or decaf and monitor whether your glucose response improves.
