How to consume protein hot chocolate without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods to your meal. Consider including vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or a small salad. You can also add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your hot chocolate.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to slow down the absorption of sugars. Avocado, nuts, and seeds are excellent choices. Alternatively, add a small amount of unsweetened almond butter or coconut oil to your hot chocolate.

Opt for Low-Carb Protein Powders

Choose protein powders that are low in carbohydrates. Whey protein isolate and plant-based protein powders often have fewer carbs compared to other options.

Use Natural Sweeteners

Replace sugar with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit that don't spike blood sugar levels.

Drink Water Before and After

Hydrate well by drinking a glass of water before and after consuming the hot chocolate. This can help dilute the sugar concentration in your bloodstream.

Add a Small Portion of Nuts or Seeds

Include a handful of almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds alongside your hot chocolate. These contain healthy fats and fiber.

Choose Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of sweetened versions to control the sugar content in your hot chocolate.

Mind Portion Sizes

Be conscious of the portion size of your hot chocolate and avoid consuming large quantities at once.

Eat a Balanced Meal Prior

Ensure you have a balanced meal with proteins, fats, and fiber before drinking your hot chocolate. This can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Opt for Plant-Based Milks

Use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or other plant-based milks instead of regular milk to reduce sugar intake.
