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

Pair with Protein

Add a small serving of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese, when eating bananas or tangerines. This can help to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a spoonful of almond butter or avocado with your meal or snack. This can help manage blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Eat Whole Grains

Combine your fruit intake with a small portion of whole grains, such as a slice of whole grain bread or a serving of oatmeal. This can provide fiber that helps regulate blood sugar.

Consume with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a fiber-rich food, like chia seeds or flaxseeds, to your meal. This can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion sizes of bananas and tangerines. Opt for smaller bananas or just one tangerine to reduce the sugar intake.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Eat bananas that are less ripe, as they contain more resistant starch and less sugar compared to fully ripe ones.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your fruits, as staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Leafy Greens

Incorporate leafy greens like spinach or kale into your meal to increase fiber intake and help regulate blood sugar.

Exercise Regularly

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

Spread Out Fruit Consumption

Rather than consuming bananas and tangerines in one sitting, spread them out throughout the day to prevent spikes.
