Coffee with Milk (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz)) and Bananas (1 Extra Small (Less Than 6 Inches Long))

Choose a smaller, firm/less-ripe banana rather than a large or very ripe one.

Have the banana with a protein-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or eggs.

Add a small portion of nuts or nut butter with no added sugar to slow absorption.

Use unsweetened milk or a lower-carbohydrate milk alternative in coffee, and avoid syrups, sugar, and sweetened creamers.

Drink the coffee after or alongside a balanced meal instead of having it with the banana on an empty stomach.

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