Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Bananas (1 Small (6 Inches To 6 7/8 Inches Long))

Choose a smaller, firmer banana or eat half a banana; less-ripe bananas are often absorbed more gradually than very ripe ones.

Pair banana with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to add protein and slow digestion.

Add a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or peanut butter with the banana instead of eating it alone.

Mix banana slices into chia pudding or unsweetened oatmeal rather than having a banana by itself.

Eat the banana after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats, rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose readings to identify the portion that works best for you.
