How to consume english banana shake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the banana shake to limit the intake of carbohydrates and sugars.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of almond butter or chia seeds to the shake. Healthy fats can slow digestion and the release of glucose.

Incorporate Fiber

Blend in a handful of spinach or kale. These leafy greens are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help modulate blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon Addition

Sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon into the shake. Cinnamon may enhance insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Hydrate with water before having the shake. Staying hydrated helps your body manage blood glucose levels more effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming the shake to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Mix with Berries

Add a small portion of low-sugar fruits like strawberries or blueberries to the shake for added nutrients and natural sweetness without additional sugar spikes.

Limit Frequency

Reduce the frequency of consuming the shake. Consider it as an occasional treat rather than a daily beverage.

Monitor Timing

Consume the shake at a time when your body is more insulin-sensitive, such as after a workout or during the earlier part of the day.
