How to consume Bananas, Gold Standard Whey Protein without glucose spikes

Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate high-fiber foods like oats or chia seeds when consuming bananas or protein shakes. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Pair your banana or protein shake with sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Consider eating smaller portions of bananas and measure your protein powder carefully to manage the amount of carbohydrates and sugars you are consuming.

Choose Green Bananas

Slightly underripe bananas have lower sugar content compared to ripe ones. Opt for greener bananas to reduce sugar intake.

Include Protein Sources

Add other low-carbohydrate protein sources like eggs or Greek yogurt to your meals or snacks with bananas and whey protein.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before meals, to help with digestion and nutrient absorption, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Timing of Consumption

Try consuming bananas or protein shakes post-exercise when your body can better utilize the carbohydrates, reducing the impact on blood sugar levels.

Experiment with Food Order

Begin your meal with vegetables or a small salad, then consume your banana or protein shake to potentially minimize spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to better understand how your body reacts to these foods and adjust your intake or combinations accordingly.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consuming a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, before your meal may help improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar.
