Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (Heinz) (1 Serving)

Reduce the serving size of baked beans and avoid adding sugary sauces, ketchup, or sweetened drinks alongside them.

Pair the beans with a protein source such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, fish, or chicken to slow glucose absorption.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, salad greens, or courgette to increase fibre and volume.

Choose a lower-sugar baked-bean variety, or rinse canned beans and serve them with an unsweetened tomato sauce you make yourself.

Include a small amount of unsaturated fat, such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, or olive oil, with the meal.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and suitable for you.
