Apples (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb)) and Oranges (1 Fruit (2 5/8 Inches Dia))

Keep portions modest: have one small apple or one small orange at a time rather than multiple fruits or large servings.

Choose whole, intact fruit instead of juice, smoothies, applesauce, or dried fruit; the fiber slows absorption.

Pair the fruit with protein and fat, such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, cheese, or peanut butter without added sugar.

Eat the fruit after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats rather than on an empty stomach.

Try berries, cherries, grapefruit, or a small pear as alternative fruit choices when you want a lower-rise option.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
