How to consume Americano Coffee, Bananas without glucose spikes

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your Americano coffee and bananas with foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. These can be added to yogurt or oatmeal which can help in slowing down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of healthy fats, like a small handful of almonds or walnuts, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Smaller Portions

Opt for a smaller banana or half a banana to reduce the overall sugar intake and minimize the spike.

Include Protein

Add a protein source like boiled eggs or a slice of turkey to your meal. Protein can help slow down the digestion process and prevent rapid spikes.

Drink Water with Coffee

Accompany your Americano with a glass of water to stay hydrated and help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Consume with a Balanced Meal

Have your coffee and banana as part of a balanced meal that includes a variety of nutrients to mitigate the impact on blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon to Coffee

Sprinkle cinnamon in your Americano. Cinnamon has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Choose a Less Ripe Banana

Opt for bananas that are slightly green as they have less sugar compared to fully ripe ones.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity after consuming your coffee and banana. This can help your body use up the sugar more effectively.

Monitor Your Timing

Try having your coffee and banana at different times rather than together, to allow your body to process the sugars more gradually.
