How to consume milk chocolate candies (with almonds) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat milk chocolate candies with a protein-rich food like a handful of nuts (other than almonds) or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content (70% or more) instead of milk chocolate. Dark chocolate contains less sugar and more fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Eat Smaller Portions

Limit your intake of milk chocolate candies. Consider having just one or two pieces instead of a whole handful to minimize the glucose spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your milk chocolate candies with foods high in healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a spoonful of nut butter (excluding almond butter). Healthy fats can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Consume Fiber-Rich Foods

Eat your chocolate candies with high-fiber foods like vegetables (carrot sticks or bell pepper slices) or berries (strawberries or blueberries). Fiber can help reduce glucose spikes by slowing digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating chocolate candies. Staying hydrated can help with overall digestion and blood sugar management.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your chocolate or on the side with your snack. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Snack

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after consuming chocolate candies. Exercise can help your muscles use glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

Eat your chocolate candies as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach. Combining them with other foods can help slow the release of glucose into your bloodstream.

Opt for Sugar-Free Alternatives

Consider trying sugar-free or low-sugar chocolate options that are sweetened with sugar alternatives like stevia or erythritol, which can help prevent glucose spikes.
