How to consume Bananas, Guavas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fat to your meal. Eating bananas or guavas with nuts, seeds, or yogurt can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Consume with Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods like oats, whole grains, or legumes to your meal. Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Eat smaller portions of bananas and guavas. Half a banana or a small guava can significantly reduce the spike compared to larger portions.

Choose Less Ripe Bananas

Opt for bananas that are less ripe as they contain less sugar than fully ripe ones.

Stay Active Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up glucose more efficiently.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process sugar more effectively.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Add leafy greens like spinach or kale to your meal, which can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Include Non-starchy Vegetables

Snack on vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers alongside your fruit to add bulk without the extra sugar.

Spread Out Your Fruit Intake

Instead of eating bananas and guavas in one sitting, spread their consumption throughout the day.

Stay Consistent with Timing

Eat meals and snacks at regular intervals to maintain a stable blood sugar level, preventing large spikes.
