Fruit Croissant (1 Croissant)

Eat a smaller portion of the fruit croissant and avoid having a second pastry or sweet drink with it.

Have it after a balanced meal containing protein, healthy fat, and non-starchy vegetables rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with plain Greek yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, or a small handful of nuts to slow glucose absorption.

Choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea/coffee instead of juice, soda, or sweetened coffee drinks.

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

If possible, choose a smaller croissant with less fruit filling or share one, and add berries or an apple alongside protein rather than additional pastries.
