German Macarons (1 Piece)

Eat a smaller portion—such as one macaron—and avoid having several in one sitting.

Have macarons after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include non-starchy vegetables, eggs, fish, tofu, or chicken.

Pair the macaron with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios to slow absorption.

Choose plain unsweetened Greek yogurt alongside the treat instead of a sugary drink.

Avoid juice, soda, sweet coffee drinks, and other desserts at the same time; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

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