How to consume Bananas | Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume your banana with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a spoonful of almond butter. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Opt for Green or Less Ripe Bananas

Choose bananas that are slightly green or less ripe, as they contain more resistant starch and less sugar compared to fully ripe bananas.

Drink Coffee with Milk or Plant-Based Alternatives

Add some milk or unsweetened plant-based milk like almond or soy milk to your espresso. This can help moderate the absorption rate of the caffeine and sugar.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods, such as oats or chia seeds, in your meal when having bananas. Fiber can help slow digestion and prevent spikes in sugar levels.

Limit Portion Size

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

Make a Smoothie

Blend the banana with a handful of spinach and a small portion of avocado. This adds fiber and healthy fats, potentially stabilizing your blood sugar.

Choose an Alternative Fruit

If you want to avoid bananas, try having berries like strawberries or blueberries, which have lower sugar content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your banana and coffee to help with the metabolism of sugars and caffeine.

Time Your Consumption

Try having your banana and espresso after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help buffer the sugar spike.

Engage in Light Exercise

A short walk or gentle physical activity after your meal can help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.
