Dry Roasted Mixed Nuts (100 G)

Keep the portion of dry roasted mixed nuts modest, such as a small handful, and avoid repeated grazing from the container.

Choose unsweetened, uncoated nuts without honey, sugar, starch-based seasoning, or candied pieces; check labels for added sugars and carbohydrate-heavy coatings.

Pair the nuts with a protein-rich food such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a hard-boiled egg to slow the overall rise.

Eat the nuts as part of a balanced meal rather than alone when very hungry, and include non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, celery, or leafy greens.

Choose mixes weighted toward almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, Brazil nuts, and hazelnuts, while limiting mixes with dried fruit, banana chips, pretzels, or sweetened coconut.

Take a brief easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
