Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and Pomegranates (1 Pomegranate (3 3/8 Inches Dia))

Use a smaller portion: try half a small, slightly underripe banana and a modest serving of pomegranate arils rather than eating both in large amounts at once.

Eat the fruit after or alongside a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Pair the fruit with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or eggs to slow absorption.

Add a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios when eating the fruit.

Mix pomegranate arils into chia pudding or plain yogurt rather than drinking fruit juice or smoothies.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
