Tea Unsweetened (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Nice - Traditional Snack Mix, 1/2 cup (1 serving(s))

Reduce the snack mix portion from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup and eat it slowly, ideally after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Keep the unsweetened tea, and pair the snack with protein such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds.

Choose a version of the traditional snack mix with more nuts, roasted chana, seeds, and unsweetened coconut, and less puffed rice, sweetened flakes, fried sev, or dried fruit.

Add fiber alongside it, such as cucumber, tomato, carrot sticks, or a small bowl of plain roasted chickpeas.

Avoid having the snack mix late at night or when you will be sedentary; a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating can help blunt the rise.

If you want a larger snack, replace part of the mix with roasted makhana, roasted chickpeas, or nuts rather than increasing the amount of cereal- or rice-based components.
