How to consume 1 banana without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Eat the banana alongside a source of protein, like a handful of almonds or a boiled egg, to help slow down the digestion and absorption of sugar.
Add Fiber
Incorporate foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or a small serving of oats, to help moderate the glucose response.
Portion Control
Consider eating only half of the banana instead of a whole one to limit the sugar intake.
Timing
Consume the banana as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own. This helps in managing the overall impact on blood sugar levels.
Choose Less Ripe Bananas
Opt for a banana that is slightly green, as it has less sugar content compared to a fully ripe one.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating a banana to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.
Hydration
Drink a glass of water with your banana to aid in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Chew slowly and savor the banana, which can help in reducing rapid spikes by promoting slower digestion.
Monitor Portion of Meals
If consuming a banana as part of a meal, adjust the portion sizes of other carbohydrates to balance the overall intake.
Experiment with Alternatives
Substitute with other fruits like berries or apples, which may have a more moderate impact on blood sugar.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
