How to consume Banana, Walnuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consider eating banana and walnuts with a source of protein like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small portion of healthy fats like avocado or a spoonful of peanut butter. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber

Pair your snack with a high-fiber food such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. Fiber can reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Opt for Half a Serving

Try consuming half a banana instead of a whole one to reduce sugar intake while still enjoying the taste.

Choose Green Bananas

If possible, select slightly underripe bananas as they contain less sugar than ripe ones.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or celery to your snack to further slow down sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water with your snack to help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion of walnuts, as nuts are calorie-dense and excessive intake might affect blood sugar levels indirectly.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after consuming a banana and walnuts to help your body utilize the sugar more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food to give your body more time to process the sugars and to better tune into your body's signals.
