Whole Wheat Bread (1 Regular Slice) and Peanut Butter (1 Tablespoon)

Reduce the bread portion to one thin slice or an open-faced sandwich, and measure peanut butter to 1–2 tablespoons.

Choose a denser, minimally processed whole-grain bread with no added sugar; compare your glucose response because breads vary substantially by brand.

Add protein or fiber alongside it, such as an egg, plain Greek yogurt, avocado, cucumber, tomato, or leafy greens.

Use unsweetened natural peanut butter made only from peanuts (and optionally salt), avoiding honey, syrups, or added sugars.

Eat the peanut butter and bread as part of a balanced meal rather than alone, and avoid pairing it with juice, sweetened coffee, or fruit jam.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
