How to consume Banana, Mango without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fat with your meal. Options like almonds, Greek yogurt, or a small piece of cheese can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats into your diet. Fiber slows down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming fruits. This can help your muscles use some of the sugar in your blood for energy.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of banana and mango you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.

Choose Unripe Fruits

Opt for less ripe bananas and mangoes, which contain less sugar than their fully ripened counterparts.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water can help regulate blood sugar levels by assisting in sugar breakdown and absorption.

Try Cinnamon

Adding a small amount of cinnamon to your meal can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by eating slowly and savoring each bite. This can help with better digestion and absorption, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to better understand how these fruits affect you individually and adjust your diet accordingly.

Substitute with Lower-Sugar Fruits

Occasionally swap out bananas and mangoes for fruits like berries, apples, or pears, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
