Orange (1 Medium (2 5/8 Inches Dia)) and Strawberries (1 Cup, Halves)

Have a smaller portion of orange and strawberries, and avoid adding juice, sugar, honey, or sweetened yogurt.

Eat the fruit after or alongside a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair the fruit with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, or a small handful of nuts to slow absorption.

Choose whole orange segments and whole strawberries instead of smoothies or blended fruit drinks.

Add fiber-rich sides such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or unsweetened oats.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
