Roasted Mixed Nuts (100 G)

Keep the portion of roasted mixed nuts modest, such as a small handful (about 25–30 g), since larger portions can raise glucose even when the food is nutrient-dense.

Choose plain, dry-roasted or raw nuts without added sugar, honey, syrups, sweet coatings, or sweetened dried fruit.

Check the mix for higher-carbohydrate add-ins such as raisins, cranberries, banana chips, chocolate, or candy pieces, and choose a nut-only blend instead.

Eat the nuts alongside a protein- and fiber-rich meal or snack, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or non-starchy vegetables, rather than eating a large amount alone.

Pair nuts with a low-sugar fruit such as berries, cherries, or an apple, while keeping the combined serving moderate.

Take a short 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
