Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Americano Coffee (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Choose a smaller, firm or slightly green banana rather than a very ripe banana, and keep the portion to half if spikes persist.

Eat the banana with a protein- and fat-rich option such as a handful of almonds, walnuts, or natural peanut butter.

Add fiber by pairing it with chia seeds or ground flaxseed stirred into plain unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Have the Americano unsweetened; avoid sugar, syrups, sweet creamers, and flavored milks.

Try having coffee after a balanced meal rather than alongside the banana on an empty stomach, since caffeine can raise glucose for some people.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
