How to consume english banana shake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of your banana shake to minimize its impact on your blood glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts to your shake. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds, or a small amount of nut butter to the shake. Healthy fats can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Opt for Green Bananas

Use a less ripe banana, as it contains more resistant starch, which can have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Blend with Fiber-rich Foods

Add spinach or oats to your shake. Fiber can help slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Use Unsweetened Milk or Alternatives

Choose unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of sweetened milk or other sugary additives to reduce sugar content.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your shake. It may help enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce sugar spikes.

Balance with a Low-sugar Meal

Pair your banana shake with a meal or snack that’s low in simple carbohydrates, such as a salad with leafy greens and lean protein, to help balance your overall intake.

Monitor Timing

Consume your shake around physical activity, like before a workout, to use up the sugars as energy and reduce their impact on your blood glucose.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming the shake to help with digestion and metabolism of sugars.
