How to consume Banana Bread, Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats with your meal. Consider adding a handful of almonds, a small serving of Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of banana bread you consume. Smaller portions will result in a smaller spike in glucose levels.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for banana bread made with whole grain or whole wheat flour. This can help in slowing down digestion and absorption.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your banana bread or in your coffee. Cinnamon is known to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

A short walk or light activity after eating can help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating to help your body process sugars more effectively.

Consume Fiber-rich Foods

Enhance your meal with fiber-rich foods such as berries or chia seeds, which can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Have your banana bread and coffee at a time when you are more insulin sensitive, like in the morning, rather than in the evening.

Limit Added Sugars

If making banana bread at home, reduce the amount of added sugars or opt for natural sweeteners like mashed ripe bananas or unsweetened applesauce.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consider consuming a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, before your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.
