How to consume Banana, Idli without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume bananas and idlis with a source of protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nut butter with your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of bananas and idlis to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Choose Low-Carb Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli alongside your meal to add fiber and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a source of fiber like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of beans to your meal to slow down digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent spikes in blood sugar.

Opt for Ripeness

Choose a less ripe banana, as they tend to have lower sugar content compared to fully ripe bananas.

Use Whole Grains

If possible, make idlis with whole grain alternatives to rice, such as millet or quinoa, to increase fiber content.

Exercise After Meals

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process and manage blood sugar levels efficiently.
