Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Mixed Nuts (100 G)

Reduce the banana portion to half of a small, firm (less-ripe) banana and keep the mixed-nut serving to a small handful.

Choose plain mixed nuts without honey, sugar coating, dried fruit, or chocolate; emphasize almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and peanuts.

Pair the snack with a protein-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or an egg to slow absorption.

Add fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or berries alongside the snack.

Eat the nuts and protein first, then the banana, rather than eating the banana alone.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
