Baby Carrots (1 Medium)

Reduce the carrot portion and eat them more slowly; split a larger serving into two smaller snacks spaced apart.

Pair baby carrots with protein and fat, such as hummus, plain Greek yogurt dip, cheese, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Add a fiber-rich food to the snack, such as chickpeas, lentils, chia seeds, or avocado, rather than eating carrots by themselves.

Have carrots after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat instead of when you are very hungry or on an empty stomach.

Choose less processed forms and avoid sweet dips, honey-based dressings, or juice alongside the carrots, which can amplify the response.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating if appropriate for you; this can help your muscles use circulating glucose.
