How to consume bananas, tangerines (mandarin oranges) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume bananas or tangerines alongside a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts (almonds or walnuts) or a small serving of Greek yogurt, to help slow down sugar absorption.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of bananas and tangerines. Instead of a whole banana, try eating half, and limit yourself to one tangerine per serving.

Choose Unripe or Less Ripe Fruits

Opt for bananas that are less ripe, as they contain more resistant starch, which may have a smaller impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Increase the overall fiber content of your meal by adding foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds. This can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Complement your fruit intake with a salad or a side of leafy greens like spinach or kale. These vegetables are low in natural sugars and provide additional fiber.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before consuming fruits to help regulate digestion and reduce the glycemic impact of your meal.

Space Out Fruit Consumption

Instead of having both fruits in one sitting, space them out throughout the day to avoid larger spikes in glucose levels.

Include Cinnamon

Add a dash of cinnamon to your meal or smoothie. Cinnamon may help to enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming fruits to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and make adjustments accordingly.
