Combine with Protein

Pair chocolate and walnuts with a protein source like Greek yogurt or a small piece of cheese to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods like berries or an apple to your snack to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Opt for Dark Chocolate

Choose dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content (70% or more) as it generally contains less sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, after consuming these foods to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to help you recognize fullness and prevent overconsumption.

Monitor Timing

Choose Low-Sugar Variants
