Stuffed Mushrooms (1 Stuffed Cap)

Use a filling based on cheese, herbs, spinach, and chopped walnuts or almonds instead of bread crumbs, crackers, or sweet sauces.

Keep the portion moderate and pair the mushrooms with a large non-starchy salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar.

If bread crumbs are important for texture, use a small amount of ground almonds or finely chopped walnuts instead.

Eat the mushrooms as part of a meal containing protein, such as eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, or tempeh, rather than as a standalone snack.

Avoid serving them with high-starch sides such as white bread, fries, mashed potatoes, or sugary drinks.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating and use your usual glucose monitoring pattern to identify the portion that works best for you.
