How to consume Bananas | Date without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eat your banana with a source of protein or healthy fats, like a handful of almonds or a spoonful of peanut butter, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Less Ripe Bananas

Opt for bananas that are less ripe, as they contain more resistant starch and less sugar compared to very ripe bananas.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your banana with foods high in fiber, such as oatmeal or chia seeds, to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Practice Portion Control

Consider eating only half a banana at a time, which can reduce the overall sugar intake and its impact on your blood glucose levels.

Include Vinegar

Add a small amount of vinegar, like apple cider vinegar, to your meal, as it can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Consume After Exercise

Eating a banana after physical activity can help your muscles use the sugar for recovery, reducing the glucose spike.

Monitor Timing

Eat bananas as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize rapid glucose spikes.

Explore Alternatives

Try substituting bananas with other fruits like berries or apples, which are lower in natural sugars and have less impact on blood glucose.
