Veggie Burgers (1 Pattie) and Cappuccino (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Choose an unsweetened cappuccino made with milk or an unsweetened plant-based alternative; avoid flavored syrups, sugar, and sweetened toppings.

Have the veggie burger as an open-faced burger or in a lettuce wrap instead of a large refined bun.

Choose a veggie patty based on beans, lentils, tofu, mushrooms, or vegetables, and avoid patties with added sugar or breaded coatings.

Add a side salad or non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, tomato, broccoli, or peppers; use a vinegar- or olive-oil-based dressing without added sugar.

Include protein and healthy fat with the meal, such as egg, cheese, avocado, tofu, or a small handful of nuts, to slow absorption.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and keep the cappuccino and burger portions moderate.
