How to consume Tea With Milk, Yellow Sweet Corn without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

Opt for whole grain or multigrain bread instead of white bread if you're pairing your tea with toast. Whole grains cause a slower rise in blood glucose levels.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats with your tea and corn snack. For example, have a handful of almonds or a boiled egg alongside your tea to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Skim or Plant-Based Milk

Switch to skim milk or unsweetened plant-based milk like almond or soy milk in your tea, which can help minimize the impact on blood sugar levels compared to full-fat milk.

Limit the Serving Size of Corn

Instead of consuming a large portion of yellow sweet corn, reduce the amount you eat in one sitting. Consider half an ear of corn as a serving size.

Incorporate Non-Starchy Vegetables

Snack on non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumbers or cherry tomatoes, along with your tea to add volume without spiking glucose levels.

Add Cinnamon to Your Tea

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in your tea, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before or after your tea to help maintain hydration and potentially reduce the effects of glucose spikes.

Choose Low-Sugar Tea Variants

Select teas that are naturally low in sugar, such as green tea or herbal teas, without added sweeteners.

Practice Portion Control

Be mindful of the portions of both your tea and corn, as even lower-impact foods can cause spikes if eaten in large quantities.

Include Fibrous Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your diet. You can sprinkle them on a salad or include them in a smoothie to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.
