Dried Cranberries (100 G)

Choose unsweetened dried cranberries and measure a small portion (about 1 tablespoon) instead of eating from the bag.

Eat dried cranberries with a protein- and fat-containing food such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Add them to a high-fiber meal, such as oatmeal with chia seeds or a salad with leafy greens, rather than eating them alone.

Have dried cranberries after a balanced meal that includes non-starchy vegetables and protein, not when very hungry or on an empty stomach.

Avoid combining them with other concentrated carbohydrates or sweets, such as granola, sweetened cereal, juice, or baked goods.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the rise in blood sugar.
