Blueberry Muffins (1 Medium)

Have a smaller portion—such as half a muffin—and save the rest for later rather than eating multiple muffins at once.

Eat the muffin alongside protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of almonds, instead of eating it by itself.

Add fiber before or with the muffin, for example chia seeds mixed into plain yogurt or a side of raspberries.

Avoid having the muffin with sweetened coffee drinks, juice, or other sugary foods; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

When possible, choose or make smaller muffins with whole-grain flour, extra berries, nuts, and less added sugar.
