Breakfast Bar (1 Bar)

Eat a smaller portion of the breakfast bar and pair it with protein and fat, such as eggs or plain Greek yogurt, rather than eating it alone.

Choose a bar with less added sugar and more fiber and protein; compare labels and favor options with nuts, seeds, and minimal syrups.

Add a fiber-rich side such as chia pudding, raspberries, or strawberries to slow digestion and reduce the size of the rise.

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

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

If the bar repeatedly causes a large rise, replace it with a breakfast such as eggs with avocado, plain Greek yogurt with berries and chia, or cottage cheese with nuts.
