How to consume bananas | mixed nuts without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of bananas and mixed nuts you consume in one sitting. Even foods with moderate impact can lead to spikes when eaten in large quantities.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, to your meal or snack. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or olive oil, which can slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Opt for Green Bananas

Choose less ripe bananas as they have a lower impact compared to fully ripe ones.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a handful of berries. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process nutrients more efficiently.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating to give your body a chance to process and manage the intake more effectively.

Walk After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Have your banana and mixed nuts as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own, reducing the likelihood of a spike.

Experiment with Alternatives

Try substituting some of the banana with lower impact fruits like strawberries or blackberries in your snack to minimize spikes.
