How to consume Banana | Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a handful of almonds or a tablespoon of peanut butter to your meal. These will help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Incorporate Fiber

Include chia seeds or flaxseeds in your meal. The fiber content can help moderate the glucose spike.

Control Portion Size

Limit the quantity of banana and ensure it is a small or medium-sized one to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Opt for Whole Grains

If consuming the banana and coffee as part of a larger meal, consider adding a slice of whole grain toast to provide a more sustained energy release.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help moderate the impact of sugars on your blood glucose levels.

Choose Brewed Coffee

Opt for black or lightly brewed coffee without added sugars or high-calorie creamers to avoid additional spikes.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include a small salad or a few slices of tomatoes or cucumbers on the side to increase fiber and nutrients, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your banana and coffee as part of a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach to reduce glucose spikes.

Consider Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon into your coffee, as it may help in moderating blood sugar levels.
