How to consume Banana, Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of nuts. Protein can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These fats can help moderate the digestion process.

Include Fiber

Consume high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or berries. Fiber can slow the rate of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

If adding carbohydrates to your meal, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Consider having a smaller portion of banana or splitting it with someone to reduce the carbohydrate load.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon into your coffee or over your banana. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a short walk, to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming the banana and coffee at different times, separating them from other meals to see if this aids in minimizing the spike.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to help your body better manage the breakdown and absorption of the nutrients.
