How to consume Tea, Tea With Milk And Sugar without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or High-Fiber Options

If you're accompanying your tea with snacks, opt for whole grain or high-fiber foods like oatmeal or whole grain crackers to help slow the absorption of sugar.

Limit Sugar Intake

Reduce the amount of sugar you add to your tea. Consider using smaller amounts or switching to a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol, which won't cause a glucose spike.

Add a Protein or Fat Source

Include a small portion of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, or a slice of cheese with your tea. Protein and healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Switch to Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

Use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk instead of regular milk. These alternatives typically have lower carbohydrate content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before having tea to help manage hunger and reduce the desire for more sugar in your tea.

Mind Your Portions

Keep track of the portion size of your tea and accompanying snacks or meals to prevent excessive carbohydrate intake.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your tea. Cinnamon is known to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Opt for Herbal Teas

Consider replacing one of your daily cups of tea with a caffeine-free herbal tea that doesn’t require milk or sugar, like chamomile or peppermint.

Drink Tea After Meals

Have your tea after meals instead of on an empty stomach, as having food in your stomach can help buffer the impact on your glucose levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, after consuming your tea. Physical activity can help reduce post-meal glucose spikes by increasing insulin sensitivity.
