Acai protein bowl & nuts (1 piece)

Choose an unsweetened acai base with no juice, syrup, honey, agave, or sweetened granola; ask for the nutrition details if ordering out.

Reduce the acai portion and increase protein by adding unsweetened Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or an unflavored protein powder with minimal added sugar.

Use lower-sugar toppings such as raspberries, strawberries, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, or unsweetened coconut instead of banana, dates, dried fruit, or granola.

Keep nuts to a measured small handful and choose plain, unsweetened nuts; nut butters should contain only nuts and salt.

Eat the bowl after a balanced meal or alongside protein and non-starchy vegetables rather than as a standalone first meal when possible.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose response to compare portion sizes and topping combinations.
