How to consume Banana, Peanut Butter, Whole Wheat Bread without glucose spikes

Balance with Protein and Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein such as a boiled egg or a small amount of cheese to your meal. This can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Include vegetables like spinach or cucumbers as a side. Their fiber content can help moderate the rise in blood glucose levels.

Portion Control

Opt for a smaller portion of banana and peanut butter. Even nutrient-dense foods can cause spikes if consumed in large amounts.

Choose a Lower-Carb Bread Option

Consider using sprouted grain bread, as it may have a lesser impact on blood sugar levels compared to regular whole wheat bread.

Spread Out Your Carb Intake

Instead of consuming all the carbs at once, try spreading your intake over a few hours to prevent a spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water can assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels. Aim to drink a glass of water before your meal.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your banana or in your peanut butter. Cinnamon might help improve insulin sensitivity.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

A walk after your meal can aid in lowering blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and promoting glucose uptake by the muscles.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

Taking time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly can enhance digestion and reduce the likelihood of glucose spikes.

Monitor Your Response
