Plain French Toast (1 Regular Slice)

Have a smaller portion of French toast and avoid adding syrup, powdered sugar, jam, or sweet sauces.

Pair it with protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese to slow the rise in glucose.

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or a small amount of natural peanut or almond butter without added sugar.

Choose berries, apple slices, or pear slices instead of high-sugar toppings; add cinnamon for sweetness without sugar.

Use whole-grain or sourdough bread and prepare it with minimal added sugar in the egg mixture.

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