Croissant (1 Mini Croissant) and Iced Coffee with Milk and Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Choose a smaller croissant portion and pair it with protein such as eggs or plain Greek yogurt to slow digestion.

Order iced coffee without added sugar; use cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a non-sugar sweetener if needed.

Use unsweetened milk or a smaller amount of milk in the coffee, rather than sweetened creamers or syrups.

Eat the croissant after a protein- and fiber-rich item, such as a small handful of almonds or walnuts, instead of on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.

If possible, replace the croissant with a meal based on eggs, avocado, vegetables, and a small serving of beans or lentils.
