Oranges (1 Fruit (2 5/8 Inches Dia))

Choose a smaller portion, such as one small orange, and avoid eating multiple oranges at once.

Eat the orange whole rather than drinking orange juice or smoothies, which are absorbed more quickly.

Pair the orange with protein or fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, almonds, walnuts, or natural peanut butter.

Have the orange as part of a balanced meal rather than by itself, for example after a meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein.

Avoid combining oranges with other sweet foods or refined carbohydrates in the same snack or meal.

Take a short walk or do other light activity for 10–20 minutes after eating, if appropriate for you.
