Kiwi Fruit (1 Fruit) and Apple (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb))

Reduce the portion: try half an apple or one small kiwi at a time, then review your glucose response before increasing it.

Eat the fruit after or alongside a protein-rich meal rather than by itself; plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or cottage cheese are practical pairings.

Add a small amount of fat and fiber, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or peanut butter with no added sugar.

Choose a whole, firm apple with the skin on and eat kiwi whole; avoid juice, smoothies, dried fruit, or fruit purées, which are easier to consume quickly.

Slow the eating pace and avoid having the fruit when you are very hungry or after a long fast.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion and pairing that work best.
