Caramel Coated Popcorn (100 G) and Cheese Flavor Popcorn (1 Cup)

Choose a smaller serving and put it in a bowl rather than eating from the bag; caramel-coated popcorn is especially likely to raise glucose quickly.

Prefer plain air-popped popcorn seasoned with herbs, cinnamon, chili, or a small amount of cheese seasoning instead of caramel-coated varieties.

Eat the popcorn alongside protein and fat, such as a handful of almonds, walnuts, or cheese, rather than having it alone.

Add fiber-rich foods to the snack, such as raw carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, or a small serving of hummus.

Avoid pairing popcorn with sugary drinks; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-snack glucose rise.
