How to consume bananas, flaxseed seeds without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat bananas and flaxseeds with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like a small handful of nuts or a few slices of avocado when consuming bananas and flaxseeds to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your meal with fiber-rich vegetables like spinach or kale to further delay digestion and glucose absorption.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for greener, less ripe bananas as they contain less sugar and more resistant starch, which can reduce the glucose spike.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of bananas and flaxseeds to a small serving size to manage the amount of sugar entering the bloodstream at once.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Eat Balanced Meals

Ensure your overall meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to promote steady blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to when you eat bananas and flaxseeds, opting for times when you are more active, such as before a workout, to utilize the glucose effectively.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which can aid digestion and improve blood sugar control.
