How to consume Banana | Milk without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a handful of nuts (like almonds or walnuts) or a spoonful of Greek yogurt, to help slow down sugar absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your banana and milk mix. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Opt for High-Fiber Foods

Consider blending your banana and milk with a small serving of oats or a scoop of fiber-rich berries, such as blueberries or strawberries, to increase fiber intake and slow sugar absorption.

Choose Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of bananas or opt for a smaller banana to decrease the overall sugar content of your meal.

Pair with Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach or kale either blended into a smoothie or as a side dish to balance your meal with additional fiber and nutrients.

Hydration with Water

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and reduce immediate sugar absorption.

Timing of Consumption

Consume this combination as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to moderate the body’s glycemic response.

Consider Food Order

Eat a small portion of protein or fiber-rich foods before consuming the banana and milk, as this can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Choose Alternative Milk

If possible, switch to unsweetened almond milk or another plant-based milk option that has lower sugar content compared to regular milk.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to this combination and adjust the amount or the addition of other ingredients based on your personal glucose readings and how you feel.
