Fish and Rice with (Mushroom) Soup (1 Cup)

Reduce the rice portion and increase the fish and mushroom soup portion; keep rice to a small serving rather than making it the main component of the meal.

Choose a smaller serving of cooked basmati rice, preferably cooled and reheated, instead of sticky or short-grain rice.

Eat the fish and mushroom soup first, then have the rice last to slow the rise in blood glucose.

Add non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as broccoli, spinach, bok choy, zucchini, peppers, or green beans.

Include a little fat and fiber with the meal, such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, or an olive-oil-based vegetable side.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
