How to consume Banana, Date without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume bananas and dates with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a small serving of avocado or a few walnuts alongside your fruits. This can help moderate the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit your portion sizes of bananas and dates. Consuming smaller amounts can help manage the glucose spike.

Select Unripe Bananas

Choose bananas that are less ripe as they have a lower sugar content compared to fully ripe ones.

Include Fiber

Add a fiber-rich food such as chia seeds or flaxseeds in your meal. This can help slow down digestion and the release of glucose.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming bananas and dates. This can help improve digestion and absorption.

Spread Out Consumption

Instead of eating all the fruits at once, spread their consumption throughout the day to avoid a large spike at one time.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or any form of light exercise after consuming your meal. Physical activity can help reduce blood glucose levels.

Choose Foods with a Balanced Nutritional Profile

Incorporate foods like lentils or chickpeas in your meals, which provide a balance of protein, fiber, and nutrients.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating to understand how different foods affect you and adjust your diet accordingly.
