Chickoo - Chickoo / Sapota (Indian Fruit) (1 grams)

Keep the portion small: start with ½ small chickoo (sapota) rather than a whole fruit, and avoid taking a second serving.

Eat chickoo after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein and healthy fats, such as plain Greek yogurt, paneer, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of nuts.

Avoid having chickoo on an empty stomach, as juice, in a smoothie, or blended with milk and added sugar; eating the whole fruit preserves its fiber.

Pair it with high-fiber, lower-starch foods such as chia seeds, flaxseed, cucumber, leafy vegetables, or a small serving of berries.

Choose chickoo that is ripe but not overly soft or very sweet, and avoid combining it with other sweet foods, desserts, sweetened drinks, or large grain portions in the same sitting.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion that works best for you.
