How to consume bananas | mixed nuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg to your snack. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Include high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of berries to your snack. Fiber slows down sugar absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having a meal with bananas and nuts, choose whole grain options like quinoa, barley, or whole grain oats to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or olive oil to your meal. Fats can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Hydrate

Drink water before and during your snack. Staying hydrated helps your body process sugars more efficiently.

Control Portion Sizes

Eat smaller portions of bananas and mixed nuts to minimize the glucose load.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your snack. Eating slowly can help prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Consume Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your bananas or mixed nuts. Cinnamon has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Include Leafy Greens

Add a small salad with spinach, kale, or arugula to your snack or meal. Leafy greens can help moderate blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.
