Cashew Nuts (100 G)

Reduce the cashew portion and eat them slowly; pre-portion a small serving rather than snacking directly from a container.

Choose plain, unsweetened cashews and avoid honey-roasted, candied, or sweetened cashew products.

Have cashews with a protein-rich food such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or tofu to slow the glucose rise.

Add soluble-fiber foods alongside them, such as chia seeds or ground flaxseed mixed into plain yogurt.

If you want fruit with cashews, choose a modest portion of berries rather than dried fruit or sweet fruit snacks.

Avoid eating cashews alone when very hungry; include them as part of a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein.
