How to consume Banana, Oatmeal without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your oatmeal and banana, such as a scoop of nut butter, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your oatmeal. Healthy fats can reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are digested, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Choose Steel-Cut or Rolled Oats

Opt for steel-cut or old-fashioned rolled oats instead of instant oats. These forms of oats are less processed and take longer to digest, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Moderate Portion Sizes

Be mindful of your portion sizes. Consider having a smaller serving of banana or oatmeal and complement it with other low-sugar fruits like berries.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal. Cinnamon is known to have potential benefits in moderating blood sugar levels.

Consume with Water or Herbal Tea

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary drinks or juices. This can help with the digestion process and prevent additional sugar intake.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Consider adding a side of vegetables or a small salad to increase fiber intake, which can aid in controlling blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew slowly. This can aid in digestion and allow your body to process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Timing of Meals

Avoid eating your banana and oatmeal on an empty stomach. Having a small, fiber-rich snack beforehand can moderate the impact on your blood sugar.

Regular Physical Activity

Incorporate a short walk or light exercise after your meal to help your muscles use up some of the sugar in your bloodstream.
