How to consume Banana, Mixed Nuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine your banana and mixed nuts with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as Greek yogurt or a small piece of cheese, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the banana to half and balance it with a larger portion of nuts, which have lower impact on glucose levels.

Opt for Less Ripe Bananas

Choose bananas that are slightly green rather than fully ripe, as they contain less sugar and more resistant starch.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include foods high in fiber such as chia seeds or flaxseeds to your snack. This can help slow digestion and mitigate glucose spikes.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon over your snack, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the rise in blood sugar.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before your snack to help with digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food, which can help in better digestion and slower absorption of sugars.

Space Out Carbohydrate Intake

If your diet includes other carbohydrates, try to space their intake throughout the day rather than consuming them in one sitting.

Choose a Low-Sugar Nut Mix

Ensure that the mixed nuts are plain or lightly salted without added sugars or sweet coatings to minimize additional sugar intake.
