How to consume banana, bananas without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Incorporate a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts, when eating a banana to slow down the absorption of sugar.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like almond butter or a few slices of avocado to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Less Ripe Bananas
Choose bananas that are less ripe. The starch content is higher in less ripe bananas, which can slow down sugar absorption.
Combine with Fiber
Eat the banana with high-fiber foods such as oatmeal or chia seeds to help moderate the glucose spike.
Limit Portion Size
Consider eating only half a banana at a time to reduce the amount of sugar intake.
Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake
If eating a full banana, spread its consumption throughout the day rather than in one sitting.
Post-Meal Walk
Take a short walk after eating a banana to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after eating a banana to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Choose Balanced Meals
Ensure your meals include a balance of protein, fats, and fiber to keep glucose levels more stable when incorporating bananas.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your glucose levels before and after consuming a banana to better understand how it affects you personally, allowing you to adjust your diet accordingly.
