Poha (1 Cup) and Coffee with Milk (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Have a smaller portion of poha and avoid adding sugar, jaggery, sweet chutneys, or sugary drinks alongside it.

Add protein to the meal, such as eggs, unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, or roasted chana, to slow the rise after poha.

Bulk up poha with non-starchy vegetables such as peas, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, bell peppers, beans, and carrots; use less flattened rice overall.

Add a small portion of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, chia seeds, or flaxseed, and keep added oil moderate.

Choose coffee without sugar or flavored syrups; use a smaller amount of milk or unsweetened milk, and avoid pairing it with biscuits or bakery items.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then the poha, and take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal if practical.
