Cappuccino (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Butter Croissants (1 Croissant, Medium)

Have a smaller portion: choose one mini croissant or share a regular one, and avoid adding jam, honey, or sweetened spreads.

Choose an unsweetened small cappuccino; skip flavored syrups, sugar, and sweetened whipped toppings.

Eat protein and fat before the pastry, such as eggs, cheese, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of nuts.

Add fiber with chia seeds mixed into plain Greek yogurt, or have a small side of berries rather than juice or another pastry.

Eat the croissant slowly as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach.

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