Mixed Nuts (100 G) and Apples (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb))

Choose one small whole apple rather than a large apple, apple juice, applesauce, or dried apple products.

Keep mixed nuts to a small handful (about 1 oz/28 g) and choose unsweetened, uncoated varieties without honey, sugar, or candy pieces.

Eat the nuts before or alongside the apple instead of eating the apple alone.

Pair the apple-and-nut snack with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg for additional protein.

Have the snack after a balanced meal or after light activity, rather than when very hungry or on an empty stomach.

Slow down while eating and consider splitting the apple into two smaller servings spaced apart.
