How to consume Banana, Date without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume your banana or date with a protein source like almonds or Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado or a spoonful of peanut butter. Fats can also help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're consuming a banana or date as part of a meal, complement it with a whole grain like quinoa or oats to help stabilize your blood sugar.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your fruit with fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds or a handful of berries to aid in slowing sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming these fruits to aid in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Limit your intake to a small banana or just one or two dates to minimize the glucose spike.

Eat with Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach or bell peppers in your meal to add fiber and further balance your blood sugar.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after consuming these fruits to help your muscles use up some of the sugar.

Spread Out Carbohydrates

If you plan to consume both a banana and dates in a day, try spreading them out between different meals to avoid large spikes.

Avoid Processed Sugars

Refrain from adding any additional sugar to your meal or snack to keep your blood sugar from spiking further.
