How to consume Banana | Milk without glucose spikes

Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your banana and milk. These seeds are rich in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Consider adding a source of protein like a scoop of unsweetened Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your banana. Instead of a whole banana, try using half, and increase the milk to make up the volume.

Choose Whole Milk Alternatives

Opt for almond milk or soy milk, which can have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to cow's milk, especially if they are unsweetened.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Consume your banana and milk as part of a balanced meal that includes healthy fats, protein, and non-starchy vegetables. This can help moderate the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your banana and milk. Cinnamon is known for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity.

Opt for Green or Less Ripe Bananas

Use greener bananas which have a lower sugar content compared to ripe ones and can be less impactful on blood sugar.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use up some of the glucose from the banana and milk.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming banana and milk. This can help you adjust portions and combinations to better suit your body's response.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process sugars more efficiently and maintain overall balance.
