How to consume Americano Coffee, Bananas without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your meal. Consider having a handful of nuts, a slice of cheese, or a small serving of yogurt alongside your banana to help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Choose Smaller Bananas

Opt for smaller bananas, which contain less sugar than larger ones, helping to minimize the glucose spike.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods in your meal. Foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats can be mixed into your coffee or eaten separately to help balance your blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Monitor Coffee Additives

Be mindful of any sweeteners or creamers added to your Americano, as these can contribute to a glucose spike. Consider using unsweetened almond or soy milk instead.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and savor your meal. Eating slowly can help regulate the rate at which your body processes carbohydrates.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, even a short walk after eating, can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity and manage glucose levels.

Consider Timing

Have your Americano and banana as part of a balanced meal or snack rather than on an empty stomach to help moderate glucose levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of both the banana and coffee, as consuming large amounts can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Track Your Responses

Keep a journal to track how your body responds to consuming Americano coffee and bananas, adjusting your intake and strategies as necessary.
