How to consume Bananas | Strawberries without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fat to your snack to slow down the absorption of sugar. For example, enjoy bananas or strawberries with a handful of nuts, a spoonful of nut butter, or Greek yogurt.

Control Portion Size

Consume smaller portions of bananas and strawberries to limit the amount of sugar entering your bloodstream at once.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for less ripe bananas as they contain more resistant starch, which digests more slowly and may result in a smaller rise in glucose levels.

Mix with Low-Sugar Fruits

Combine your bananas or strawberries with other fruits that have a lower sugar content, such as berries, to balance the overall sugar intake.

Add Fiber

Incorporate additional fiber into your meal by including foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when consuming fruits, to aid in digestion and help stabilize glucose levels.

Opt for Whole Fruits

Always choose whole bananas and strawberries over processed forms like juices or purees to benefit from their natural fibers, which help control blood sugar.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of how your body responds to bananas and strawberries by checking your blood sugar levels before and after consuming them. Adjust your intake based on your observations.
