Brioche (1 Piece)

Reduce the brioche portion—for example, have half a serving—and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair brioche with protein and fat, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds, rather than jam, honey, or sweet spreads.

Add fiber-rich sides such as berries, an apple, or non-starchy vegetables to slow digestion.

Choose a savory topping like avocado, egg, or cheese instead of sugary fillings or toppings.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help blunt the rise.

If spikes persist, reserve brioche for occasional meals and choose a less sweet, higher-fiber bread more often.
