Fig Bars (1 Cookie)

Reduce the portion of fig bars and eat them slowly rather than having several at once.

Have fig bars after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Pair a small serving with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, eggs, or a handful of nuts.

Choose a higher-fiber snack alternative when possible, such as berries with plain yogurt or an apple with peanut butter.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Check labels and favor fig bars with less added sugar and more fiber; compare your own glucose response when trying different brands.
