Ice Cream Bar or Stick with Fruit (1 Berry Swirl)

Choose a smaller ice cream bar or eat half and save the rest for later.

Have it after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or peanuts to slow absorption.

Choose bars made with higher protein and lower added sugar, and avoid syrups, candy coatings, and cookie pieces.

If selecting fruit-based options, favor berries, cherries, apple, pear, or orange over juice or sweetened fruit purées.

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