How to consume Apple, Bananas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats

Combine apples or bananas with a source of protein or healthy fat, such as a handful of nuts, a spoonful of nut butter, or a slice of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars and reduce the spike in blood sugar levels.

Watch Portion Sizes

Stick to smaller portions of apples or bananas to minimize the impact on blood glucose levels. Consider having half a banana or a small apple instead of a larger serving.

Choose Less Ripe Bananas

Opt for slightly underripe bananas, which have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to fully ripe ones.

Add Fiber

Incorporate foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, when eating apples or bananas. Fiber can help slow digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Include Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on apple slices or banana pieces. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and slow down sugar absorption.

Balanced Meals

Include apples or bananas as part of a balanced meal with plenty of vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, which can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink water before or along with your fruit intake, as proper hydration can help in metabolizing carbohydrates more efficiently.
