Banana Chips (Homemade) (1 Cup)

Eat a smaller portion of banana chips and avoid having them alone; pre-portion a serving instead of eating from the batch.

Have the chips after or alongside a meal containing protein, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, or grilled chicken.

Pair them with fiber- and fat-containing foods such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, avocado, or hummus to slow absorption.

Use less added sugar or sweet coating in the homemade recipe; favor cinnamon, vanilla, or unsweetened coconut for flavor instead.

Bake or air-fry with minimal oil rather than deep-frying, and keep slices slightly thicker to make portion control easier.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
