Mango (1 Mango) and Mixed Salad Greens (1 Cup, Shredded Or Chopped)

Reduce the mango portion and choose a less-ripe mango; riper fruit tends to raise glucose more quickly.

Eat the mango only after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein and healthy fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, avocado, nuts, or seeds.

Add more non-starchy salad vegetables and fiber, such as leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, or chickpeas, and use a vinegar- or lemon-based dressing without added sugar.

Avoid pairing mango with other concentrated carbohydrates or sweet drinks, including juice, sweetened dressings, bread, rice, or dessert.

Try a smaller serving of mango and monitor your response; if needed, substitute part of it with berries, cherries, apple, pear, or orange.

Take a short, easy walk for 10–20 minutes after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
