- GL 4 per 100 g Dark chocolate provides a satisfying, rich treat with a significantly lower GI (20) and GL (4) compared to taffy, leading to a much smaller blood sugar impact.
Dark chocolate (85% cacao, minimal added sugar) - GL 2 per 100 g This option combines protein, fiber, and healthy fats, resulting in a much lower GL (2) and a steadier glucose response than the high-sugar taffy.
Greek yogurt with berries and chia seeds - GL 3 per 100 g Whole raspberries provide natural sweetness along with fiber, resulting in a much lower GL (3) compared to the concentrated sugar in taffy.
