Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Upma (1 Serving (120g))

Have a smaller, firmer (less ripe) banana and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair the banana with a protein or fat source such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of nuts.

Reduce the upma serving and add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, beans, peppers, cauliflower, or cabbage.

Make upma with more vegetables and protein (for example, tofu or eggs) and minimize added sugar or sweet toppings.

Eat protein and vegetables first, then have the banana and upma afterward.

Consider replacing some or all of the upma with steel-cut oats, moong chilla, or besan chilla.
