Lowfat Oats, Fruit and Nuts Granola Bar (1 Bar)

Reduce the portion to half a bar, eat it slowly, and reassess your glucose response before having the remainder.

Pair the bar with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, an egg, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts, rather than eating it alone.

Have the bar after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fat instead of as a standalone snack on an empty stomach.

Choose a bar with less added sugar and more protein and fiber; compare labels and favor options with whole oats, nuts, and seeds near the top of the ingredient list.

If you want fruit alongside it, choose a small serving of berries rather than dried fruit or fruit juice.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
