Raisins (100 G)

Reduce the raisin portion; measure a small serving rather than eating directly from the container.

Eat raisins as part of a meal instead of on an empty stomach, preferably after vegetables and protein.

Pair a small portion of raisins with unsweetened Greek yogurt, almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds to slow absorption.

Choose fresh fruit such as an apple, orange, berries, or pear more often than raisins when you want something sweet.

Avoid combining raisins with other rapidly absorbed carbohydrates such as sweetened cereal, white bread, or fruit juice.

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