Banana (1 Large (8 Inches To 8 7/8 Inches Long)) and Mixed Nuts (100 G)

Use a smaller banana portion, such as half a medium banana, and keep the mixed-nut serving to a small handful.

Choose a firmer, less-ripe banana rather than a very ripe, spotted one.

Eat the banana after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Add plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for extra protein.

Include chia seeds or ground flaxseed with the snack to add fiber.

Avoid sweetened, honey-roasted, or dried-fruit-containing nut mixes; choose plain nuts instead.
