But the combination negates the goodness of both chocolate and almonds. The simple carbs in chocolate can cause a glucose spike due to added sugar. Or if your blood sugar levels are too low, eating fatty foods can affect your meal&#8217;s glycemic index (GI). This might reduce your glucose levels even further, leading to hypoglycemia. But worry not because just a few modifications will help retain the nutritious value.<\/p>\n<p>Modify your chocolate-covered almonds for glucose optimisation<br \/>\n\u2022 You can consider having plain almonds. Almonds are a healthy source of fibre and fat.<br \/>\n\u2022 Adding protein to your chocolate-covered almonds may stabilise the glucose levels. Try a whey protein smoothie with chocolate and almonds.<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider having dark-chocolate-covered almonds instead of milk-chocolate-coated ones. You will have the advantage of healthy fats, fibre and protein, and antioxidants that may help lower your blood sugar level.<\/p>\n<p>Almonds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. They have an estimated GI score of 0 and thus can help boost metabolism. To enjoy this and other health benefits of chocolate and almonds, consuming them separately is advisable. But, if you still want to have the best of both worlds, follow these alterations.<\/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-7453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
