How to consume Bananas | Strawberries without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine bananas or strawberries with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a small serving of Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like oats, chia seeds, or flaxseeds into your meal when consuming bananas or strawberries. Fiber can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of bananas and strawberries. Choose smaller bananas or measure out a cup of strawberries to prevent excessive sugar intake in one sitting.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for slightly green bananas, as they have more resistant starch and less sugar compared to fully ripe bananas, which can minimize the glucose spike.

Add to Balanced Meals

Include bananas or strawberries as part of a well-rounded meal with lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables, rather than eating them on their own.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating bananas or strawberries to help your body process the natural sugars more efficiently.

Select Other Low-Sugar Fruits

Occasionally substitute bananas and strawberries with other fruits like apples or blueberries, which can have a more moderate impact on blood sugar levels.

Consume in Moderation

Spread out your intake of bananas and strawberries throughout the day rather than consuming them all at once to prevent a sharp rise in blood sugar.
