How to consume Banana, Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein like a handful of nuts or a small serving of Greek yogurt when consuming a banana. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of sugar.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate a small portion of healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a spoonful of nut butter with your banana to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Instead of consuming a whole banana, try eating half a banana to reduce the overall sugar intake.
Choose Unripe Bananas
Prefer slightly greener bananas as they contain less sugar compared to fully ripe ones.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine your banana with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. Fiber can slow down sugar absorption and help prevent spikes.
Drink Espresso with a Protein Source
Pair your espresso coffee with a high-protein snack like a boiled egg or a piece of cheese to balance out its effects on blood sugar.
Opt for Espresso with Less or No Sugar
If you typically add sugar to your espresso, try reducing the amount or using a sugar substitute to decrease the immediate glucose impact.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water when consuming foods that can raise blood sugar levels. Proper hydration can help your body regulate glucose more effectively.
Engage in Light Physical Activity
A short walk or light exercise after consuming these foods can help your body use glucose more efficiently and prevent spikes.
Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake
Instead of eating the banana and drinking espresso in one sitting, try having them at different times to spread out your carbohydrate intake throughout the day.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
