Strawberries (1 Cup, Halves) and Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long))

Choose a smaller portion of banana and pair it with strawberries rather than eating multiple bananas at once.

Eat the fruit alongside protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, or a small handful of nuts.

Add fiber with chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or oats to a strawberry-and-banana bowl or smoothie.

Prefer a slightly underripe banana, which is typically digested more slowly than a very ripe, soft banana.

Avoid blending the fruit into juice or adding honey, syrup, sweetened yogurt, or other added sugars.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
