How to consume Apples, Bananas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a slice of cheese, when eating apples or bananas to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of apples and bananas. Consider having half a banana or a small apple instead of a full serving.

Choose Less Ripe Fruits

Opt for less ripe bananas, as they contain more resistant starch, which digests more slowly compared to fully ripe bananas.

Add Fiber

Enhance the meal with additional fiber by including foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of oatmeal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating fruit as hydration can help with digestion and regulate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Fruits with Meals

Incorporate apples and bananas as part of a balanced meal rather than eating them alone as a snack to help mitigate spikes.

Focus on Timing

Consume fruits earlier in the day when you're more active, allowing your body to utilize the sugars more efficiently.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in physical activity regularly, especially after meals, to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your body’s response to different fruits and adjust your intake accordingly, as individual responses can vary.

Try Alternative Fruits

Experiment with other fruits that have a lower impact on blood sugar levels, such as berries or cherries, when looking for variety.
