Almonds (1 Almond) and Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long))

Reduce the banana portion, such as using half a small, firm banana instead of a large or very ripe one.

Eat almonds and banana as part of a balanced meal rather than alone, adding protein such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or cottage cheese.

Choose a firmer, less-ripe banana; riper bananas tend to raise glucose more quickly.

Add fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, berries, or an apple with the snack.

Avoid pairing the snack with juice, sweetened coffee, honey, or other sugary foods and drinks.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the post-meal rise.
