How to consume 1 banana without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eat the banana with a small serving of Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts, or a spoonful of natural peanut butter to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small portion of oats in your meal to increase fiber content and reduce the spike.

Portion Control

Opt for a smaller banana or eat only half to reduce the amount of sugar consumed.

Choose Less Ripe Bananas

Slightly less ripe bananas have a lower sugar content compared to fully ripe ones.

Timing of Consumption

Eat the banana as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to lessen the spike.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming the banana to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Hydration

Drink water before and after eating the banana to aid in digestion and glucose management.

Mindful Eating

Chew slowly and savor the banana to allow your body time to process the sugars more evenly.
