How to consume Bananas | Date without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume the banana with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds, peanut butter, or a small serving of Greek yogurt. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Choose Under-ripe Bananas

Opt for bananas that are less ripe, as they contain more resistant starch and have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to fully ripe bananas.

Moderate Portion Size

Eat a smaller portion of banana, such as half a banana, to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Include Fiber-rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oatmeal in your meal alongside the banana. Fiber helps to slow down digestion and the release of sugar into the blood.

Balance with Low-impact Fruits

Combine the banana with fruits that have a lower impact on blood sugar, such as berries, to create a balanced fruit salad.

Stay Active After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming a banana to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before or after eating the banana to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring the banana slowly and focusing on enjoying the taste, which can help in regulating your body's response to sugar.
