How to consume Banana - Small without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat your banana with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts, or a small piece of cheese to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like almond butter or a few slices of avocado when consuming a banana to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Combine your banana with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to help manage blood sugar spikes.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Include your banana as part of a meal that includes lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables to help moderate blood sugar fluctuations.

Opt for a Smaller Portion

If you find that a whole banana spikes your blood sugar, try eating half a banana or choose a smaller banana.

Engage in Light Activity Post-Eating

A short walk or light physical activity after eating can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating a banana to help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Eat your banana earlier in the day when your body is generally more insulin-sensitive, rather than in the evening.

Choose Greenish-Yellow Bananas

Slightly underripe bananas have less sugar content compared to fully ripened bananas.

Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake

If you plan to eat other carbohydrates during the day, try to distribute them evenly across meals to prevent sharp increases in blood sugar.
