Lakkrís (1 piece)

Reduce the portion: pre-portion a small serving of lakkrís instead of eating from the bag, and avoid repeat servings.

Have lakkrís after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein, fat, and fiber in that meal.

Pair a small serving with plain Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts, or seeds rather than other sweets or sugary drinks.

Choose unsweetened beverages such as water, sparkling water, coffee, or tea alongside it; avoid soda, juice, and sweetened coffee drinks.

If available, compare labels and choose lakkrís with less added sugar and more fiber; note that sugar-free versions can still cause digestive upset in larger amounts because of sugar alcohols.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you, and use your glucose readings to identify a portion that works better for you.
