How to consume Banana Cake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the banana cake to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats alongside the banana cake, such as a handful of nuts or a spoonful of natural peanut butter, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

If baking the cake yourself, consider using whole grain flour instead of refined white flour to aid in slower digestion and absorption.

Incorporate Fiber

Pair the banana cake with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds, which can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming the cake to help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.

Limit Added Sugars

If making your own banana cake, reduce the amount of added sugar or use a natural sweetener like stevia.

Balance Meals

Ensure that other components of your meal are low in carbohydrates and include vegetables and lean proteins.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help prevent overeating and reduce the glucose spike.

Plan Timing Wisely

Consume banana cake at times when your body's insulin sensitivity is generally higher, such as earlier in the day or after exercise.
