How to consume Bananas, Orange without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats with your bananas and oranges to slow down the absorption of sugars. Consider adding a scoop of nut butter, a handful of nuts, or a serving of yogurt.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider consuming smaller portions of bananas and oranges. Instead of eating a whole banana or orange, try half.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include foods high in fiber when you eat bananas or oranges. Options like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of oatmeal can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Green Bananas

Choose slightly under-ripe bananas as they have more resistant starch, which breaks down more slowly.

Combine with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your fruit with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or cucumbers. This combination can help stabilize blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before, during, and after consuming fruit. This can aid digestion and help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Include Whole Grains

Pair your fruit with whole grains, like quinoa or barley, to add bulk and fiber to your meal.

Mindful Eating Practices

Slow down and chew your food thoroughly, which can improve digestion and help you feel fuller, potentially reducing the amount you eat.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling, which can enhance insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming these fruits to understand how they affect your body and adjust your approach accordingly.
