Why this works
The apple's pectin fiber and the fat and protein in almond butter slow gastric emptying together, so a sweet snack lands as a gentle rise rather than a spike and crash.
Ingredients
- 1 medium apple, skin on, sliced
- 1 1/2 tbsp almond butter, no added sugar
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Method
- 1Core and slice the apple into eight wedges, leaving the skin on for the fiber.
- 2Spoon the almond butter into a small dish rather than the jar lid.
- 3Dust the almond butter with cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- 4Dip and eat, ideally away from your desk.
Yvette's tip
Choose a tart apple, Granny Smith or Braeburn. The acidity makes a modest amount of almond butter taste generous.
