How to consume Bananas | Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume bananas and espresso coffee with a source of protein like Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) to slow down glucose absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado slices or a spoonful of chia seeds to your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Choose Smaller Bananas
Opt for smaller bananas to reduce the overall amount of carbohydrates consumed, which can help moderate a glucose spike.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine your banana with high-fiber foods such as oatmeal or a small portion of berries (e.g., strawberries or blueberries) to slow glucose absorption.
Select Greenish Bananas
Choose bananas that are slightly green as they contain more resistant starch, which is digested more slowly.
Drink Espresso After Eating
Consume your espresso coffee after eating the banana to potentially reduce its impact on blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Cinnamon
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your banana or coffee, as cinnamon has been shown to help improve blood sugar control.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water along with your meal to help with digestion and potentially reduce the glucose spike.
Monitor Portion Size
If you are having a full banana, consider eating only half to lower the carbohydrate intake.
Mindful Timing
Eat your banana and drink espresso as part of a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach, which can help mitigate the glucose spike.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
