Almonds (100 G), Walnuts (100 G) and Dried Fig (100 G)

Reduce or skip the dried figs, which are concentrated in rapidly absorbed sugars; keep the almonds and walnuts plain and unsweetened.

If you want fruit with the nuts, choose fresh berries, a small apple, or an orange instead of dried fruit.

Have the nuts and fruit after a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables rather than as a standalone snack.

Add a protein-rich pairing such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or tofu to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Use a measured portion: for example, a small handful of mixed nuts and one serving of fresh fruit rather than grazing from a large bag.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
