Arabic Sweets - Kanafeh, Knefeh, Knefe, 86 g (1 serving(s))

Have a smaller portion of kanafeh—about half of the 86 g serving—and save the rest for another day.

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

Pair a smaller kanafeh portion with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt and a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Choose fresh berries, an apple, or an orange instead of additional syrup, sweet drinks, or other desserts alongside it.

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

When available, choose kanafeh with less syrup or request light syrup, and avoid adding extra sugar syrup.
