A quick fix for hunger, flat whites and rusks are gaining popularity. A flat white is a concentrated coffee made with espresso and steamed milk. Rusk is a twice-baked biscuit made with flour, eggs, flavours etc. The carb content varies in rusks, but it is generally in the range of 78%. Although a tasty and convenient snack option, it can cause hyperglycemia.<\/p>\n
Satiate your palate with minimum spikes
\n\u2022 Consider low-GI options like almond flour to make rusks at home. This will slower glucose absorbtion from the meal.
\n\u2022 Try having your flat white unsweetened or with low sugar. Natural zero-calorie sweeteners like stevia can be used as an alternative.
\n\u2022 Consider a nut milk latte as an alternative to your flat white.<\/p>\n
The commonly available rusk is prepared with refined flour and sugar, which gives it a higher glycemic index score. Additionally, a flat white contains milk. Lactose, the milk sugar, increases the blood sugar level. Optimising this meal can prevent potent spikes in blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
