How to consume banana, bananas without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein

Eat bananas with a source of protein, like a small serving of Greek yogurt, nuts, or a hard-boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Pair with Healthy Fats

Add a handful of almonds, walnuts, or a slice of avocado when eating a banana. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Less Ripe Bananas

Choose bananas that are slightly green. Less ripe bananas have lower sugar content compared to fully ripe ones.

Portion Control

Consume only half a banana or choose a smaller banana to reduce glucose intake.

Add Fiber

Pair bananas with foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oat bran, to slow down sugar absorption.

Balance the Meal

Include bananas as part of a balanced meal with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to stabilize blood sugar.

Exercise Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating bananas to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after eating bananas, which can aid in digestion and glucose regulation.

Spacing Meals

Avoid consuming other high-sugar foods immediately before or after eating bananas to prevent compounding glucose spikes.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body reacts to bananas and adjust your consumption based on your personal glucose response.
