How to consume Americano Coffee, Banana without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

To slow down the absorption of sugars, consider pairing your banana with a source of protein or healthy fats such as a handful of almonds, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a boiled egg.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Reduce your banana portion size. Eating half a banana instead of a whole one can help decrease the sugar load.

Choose a Less Ripe Banana

The riper the banana, the higher the sugar content. Choose a less ripe banana to reduce its impact on your blood sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your meal. These can be added to your coffee or eaten alongside your banana to help slow down sugar absorption.

Stay Active After Eating

Engage in light physical activity like walking or gentle stretching after consuming your coffee and banana. This can help your muscles use some of the glucose from your bloodstream.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water with your coffee and banana to help with digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Coffee Add-ins

If you add sugar or flavored syrups to your Americano, consider reducing or eliminating these add-ins as they can contribute to glucose spikes.

Experiment with Other Fruits

Try combining your coffee with fruits like berries or an apple slice, which typically have a milder impact on blood sugar.

Try Adding Cinnamon

Cinnamon can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your coffee or on your banana.

Space Out Your Intake

Instead of consuming your coffee and banana together, space out their consumption to allow your body to better manage the sugar intake.
