How to consume Apple, Bananas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eating apples or bananas with a protein source like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts can help slow down glucose absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a healthy fat such as almond butter or avocado when eating your fruit. This can help moderate the glucose spike.

Eat Whole Grains

Combine your fruit with a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or oats, which are absorbed more slowly.

Choose Fiber-Rich Foods

Include additional fiber in your meal by adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to your fruit. This can help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can support overall metabolic health.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of apples and bananas you consume, as smaller portions may lead to a smaller glucose spike.

Opt for Mixed Meals

Include your fruit as part of a mixed meal containing protein, healthy fats, and fiber to balance out the glucose impact.

Include Leafy Greens

Add a side of leafy greens like spinach or kale to your meal, which can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after eating, to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Space Out Fruit Consumption

Rather than eating multiple servings of fruit in one sitting, space them out throughout the day to minimize spikes.
