Apples (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb)) and Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long))

Choose a smaller portion: one small apple or half a medium banana, rather than eating both at once.

Eat the fruit with protein and fat, such as a handful of almonds or walnuts, to slow absorption.

Pair apple slices with natural peanut or almond butter with no added sugar.

Have fruit after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats instead of on an empty stomach.

Prefer a whole apple with its skin over juice, smoothies, dried fruit, or applesauce.

For bananas, choose a slightly green or just-ripe banana and combine it with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
