Strawberry Juice (100 G)

Choose whole strawberries instead of strawberry juice; the intact fiber slows sugar absorption.

If drinking juice, use a smaller portion and dilute it with water or sparkling water; avoid sweetened versions.

Have it with a protein- and fat-containing option such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of almonds.

Add a fiber-rich accompaniment such as chia seeds, oats, or an apple to slow the rise.

Avoid drinking strawberry juice on an empty stomach; include it as part of a balanced meal.

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