How to consume Almonds, Banana without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine the almonds and banana with a protein source such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small portion of lean chicken. Protein helps slow the absorption of sugars and can moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a source of healthy fats in your meal, like avocado or a small serving of chia seeds, to further slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods
Add foods high in fiber, such as berries, vegetables, or whole grains like quinoa. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing down glucose absorption.
Eat in Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of the banana, as it tends to have a higher sugar content compared to almonds. Splitting your banana into halves or thirds can help manage the spike.
Include Non-Starchy Vegetables
Eat a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli with your almonds and banana. These vegetables are low in sugars and high in fiber, which aids in controlling blood sugar levels.
Try a Different Fruit
Substitute the banana with a lower-sugar fruit like berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) that can provide sweetness without causing as significant a glucose spike.
Monitor Timing
Pay attention to the timing of your meals and snacks. Eating almonds and banana as part of a balanced meal rather than a standalone snack can help mitigate any sharp increases in blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration can help maintain normal blood sugar levels and improve metabolic processes.
Exercise Regularly
Engage in regular physical activity, especially after meals. A short walk or light exercise can help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream more effectively.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by chewing your food thoroughly and eating slowly. This can improve digestion and help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
