Steel Cut Oats (Bagrry's) (1 Serving)

Reduce the dry oat portion (for example, start with 1/4 cup) and assess your glucose response before increasing it.

Cook the oats until tender, then let them cool and reheat them later; this may blunt the post-meal rise for some people.

Add protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or unsweetened soy yogurt alongside the oats rather than eating oats alone.

Mix in fiber- and fat-rich additions such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, walnuts, almonds, or natural peanut butter without added sugar.

Use lower-sugar toppings such as berries, cinnamon, and unsweetened coconut instead of honey, maple syrup, dried fruit, or sweetened granola.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and avoid pairing the meal with juice or other sweet drinks.
