Puff Pastry (Frozen, Baked) (1 Shell)

Keep the puff pastry portion small, and avoid having it on an empty stomach.

Eat it alongside protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, tofu, or salmon.

Add high-fiber vegetables to the meal, such as leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, or a salad with a vinegar-based dressing.

Include a modest serving of healthy fat, such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, or olive oil, to slow digestion.

Avoid pairing puff pastry with sugary fillings, sweet drinks, juice, or other refined starches; choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
