How to consume Bananas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat bananas with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to slow down digestion and moderate the glucose spike.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like almond butter or peanut butter when consuming bananas to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Less Ripe Bananas

Opt for slightly greener bananas as they contain more resistant starch, which is digested more slowly than the sugars in ripe bananas.

Limit Portion Size

Consider eating only half a banana at a time to reduce the amount of sugar consumed in one sitting.

Combine with Fiber

Pair bananas with foods high in fiber, such as oats or chia seeds, to help slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to aid in digestion and help your body process the natural sugars more efficiently.

Spread Consumption

Space out your banana consumption throughout the day instead of eating multiple bananas in one sitting.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, especially after meals, to help your body use glucose more effectively and manage spikes.

Monitor Banana Size

Choose smaller bananas to naturally consume less sugar and reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Balance Your Meal

Include a variety of nutrient-dense foods alongside bananas to create a balanced meal that provides a steady release of energy.
