Tea Unsweetened (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Cookie (1 Small)

Have a smaller portion of the cookie and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair the cookie with a small handful of almonds or walnuts to slow absorption.

Eat plain Greek yogurt or a boiled egg before the cookie for added protein.

Choose a cookie made with oats, nuts, or higher-fiber ingredients and with less added sugar.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating.

Keep the tea unsweetened and avoid adding sweeteners, honey, or sugary creamers.
