How to consume banana | peanuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber

Add foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, when consuming bananas or peanuts. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Combine bananas or peanuts with a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or olive oil. These fats can help moderate your blood sugar response.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, to your meal or snack. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Pay attention to portion sizes. Limit your intake to one small banana or a small handful of peanuts to prevent a significant spike.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming high-carb foods to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, allowing your body to process the food more gradually and reduce the likelihood of a spike.

Hydrate

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for slightly less ripe bananas, as they have a lower sugar content compared to very ripe ones.

Avoid Processed Sugar

Limit adding any processed sugars or sweeteners to your meal, which could exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider consuming bananas or peanuts as part of a larger meal rather than on an empty stomach to lessen the impact on your blood sugar.
