Kind bar (1 piece)

Choose a KIND bar with lower added sugar and more nuts, seeds, and fiber; compare labels and favor varieties with the fewest grams of added sugar.

Eat the bar after or alongside a protein-rich food such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or cheese rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, bell pepper, celery, or broccoli to slow digestion.

Have a small portion of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds, with the bar instead of adding another sweet snack.

Use a smaller portion—for example, half a bar—and save the remainder for later if you notice a rise from a full bar.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
