How to consume Banana, Walnuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Combine the banana and walnuts with a source of protein, such as a small piece of cheese or a boiled egg, to slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a spoonful of peanut butter with your banana and walnuts to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Opt for a smaller banana or split the banana into two servings to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add foods high in fiber, such as oats or chia seeds, to your snack to help delay glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating to help with digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Add a Low-Carb Vegetable

Include some raw veggies like cucumber slices or bell peppers to increase the volume of your snack and add more fiber.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in a light walk or some form of physical activity after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Time Your Meals

Consider eating your banana and walnuts as part of a larger balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to prevent rapid glucose increase.

Monitor Consistently

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming these foods to understand your body's specific response and adjust accordingly.
