How to consume Banana, Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume bananas and espresso coffee alongside a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds, Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Opt for Green Bananas

Choose less ripe bananas as they contain more resistant starch, which is digested more slowly and can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon onto your banana or into your espresso coffee. Cinnamon is known to have properties that can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Include Fiber-rich Foods

Add foods rich in fiber to your meal or snack. Consider including chia seeds, oats, or a small serving of berries. These can help slow digestion and sugar absorption.

Drink Coffee with Milk or a Milk Alternative

Add unsweetened almond milk or regular milk to your espresso to include a bit of protein and fat, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Limit Portion Size

Consider eating only half a banana or smaller portions of carbohydrate-rich foods to lessen the potential for a spike.

Opt for a Balanced Meal

Incorporate a mix of protein, fats, and carbohydrates with low sugar content, ensuring each meal is balanced to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water before or after consuming a banana and coffee can help in maintaining hydration and potentially regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming bananas and coffee at different times rather than together to see if it affects your blood sugar differently.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, like a short walk after eating, which can help improve your body’s ability to manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
