How to consume Banana without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume a banana with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a boiled egg. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Smaller Bananas

Opt for smaller bananas to naturally reduce the sugar intake and overall impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats in your meal. These can help regulate the absorption of sugars and prevent spikes.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Include bananas as part of a balanced meal that includes lean proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables to moderate the release of sugar into your bloodstream.

Stay Active After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming a banana to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Try a Different Form

Have a less ripe banana, which typically has lower sugar content compared to a fully ripe one.

Hydrate Well

Drink water alongside or after eating a banana to aid in digestion and to help flush out excess sugar from your system more effectively.

Monitor Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion size by slicing a banana and consuming half instead of a whole, especially if you're not very active at the moment.
