Maltodextrin and dextrose are what you want to be looking for in the ingredients.

[Holto]

Anytime you eat carbs OR protein you illicit an insulin response.

To achieve an actual insulin spike you need a major load of sugar in a short time and generally on an empty stomach.

Like for me 120 grams of dextrose & maltodextrin.

Plain Cocoa powder without sugar will not spike insulin.
