Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Walnuts (1 Nut)

Choose a smaller, firmer, less-ripe banana; it is typically digested more gradually than a very ripe banana.

Keep walnuts to a measured small handful and avoid adding honey, dried fruit, or sweetened yogurt.

Pair the banana and walnuts with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to add protein and slow absorption.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the snack for extra fiber and fat.

Eat the snack after or alongside a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
