🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Almond flour crackers – Provides a crunchy texture with very low carb content, complementing the creamy dessert.
• Cheese platter – High in protein and fat, helps to balance blood sugar levels when paired with a low-carb dessert.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken skewers – Protein helps to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Sugar-free frozen yogurt – Lower in sugar and carbs, helping to minimize blood glucose spikes.
• Coconut cream popsicles – Made with natural fats and minimal carbs, providing a creamy texture without the sugar rush.
• Avocado ice cream – Rich in healthy fats and low in carbs, supporting stable blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to process the fat and minimal carbs.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar depending on the specific ingredients and individual metabolic response.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the low carb content and presence of fats.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a sugar-free or low-carb alternative, or consider a small portion of full-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of nuts.
