How to consume Banana | Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Start your meal with a source of protein like Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of almond butter or chia seeds to your banana, as healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your banana with high-fiber foods such as oats or a small portion of whole grain cereal to help stabilize blood sugar.

Opt for Black Coffee

If you take your coffee with sugar or high-calorie creamers, switch to black coffee or use a small amount of milk or a sugar-free alternative.

Hydrate with Water

Drink a glass of water before consuming your banana and coffee to help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Monitor Portion Size

Consider eating a smaller banana, or half of one, to reduce the sugar load.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Try Decaf

If caffeine contributes to your spike, consider switching to decaffeinated coffee to lessen its impact on your glucose levels.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for bananas that are less ripe, as they contain less sugar compared to fully ripe bananas.

Space Out Consumption

Instead of consuming the banana and coffee together, have one in the morning and the other as a mid-morning snack to prevent a concentrated sugar intake.
