Apples (Without Skin) (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb))

Eat a smaller portion of the peeled apple, such as half at a time, and save the rest for later.

Prefer a firmer, less-ripe apple and avoid applesauce, juice, or dried apples, which can raise glucose more quickly.

Pair the apple with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts to slow absorption.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to yogurt alongside the apple for extra soluble fiber.

Eat the apple after a balanced meal rather than by itself on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
