How to consume Banana without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like a handful of nuts, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a slice of cheese. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Consume the banana with healthy fats such as avocado or a few olives. Healthy fats can also help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Combine the banana with high-fiber foods like chia seeds or oats. Fiber slows digestion and can help prevent rapid increases in blood sugar.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Incorporate the banana into a balanced meal that includes lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables to help stabilize blood sugar.

Opt for a Smaller Portion

Consider eating half a banana instead of a whole one to reduce the sugar intake.

Choose Unripe Bananas

If possible, eat less ripe bananas, which have a lower sugar content compared to fully ripe ones.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall metabolic processes and help manage blood sugar levels.

Engage in Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light exercise after eating a banana to help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Spread your carbohydrate intake throughout the day across different meals and snacks to avoid large spikes.

Mindful Eating

Chew slowly and savor each bite to improve digestion and give your body time to process the sugar more effectively.
