How to consume Banana | Protein Shake without glucose spikes

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your banana protein shake with foods that are high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of healthy fats like almond butter or avocado into your shake. This can help moderate the spike by slowing digestion.

Opt for Low-Sugar Protein Powder

Choose a protein powder with little to no added sugars to reduce the overall sugar content of the shake.

Portion Control

Use half a banana instead of a whole one, or use a smaller banana to reduce the sugar content without significantly impacting taste.

Include Protein-Rich Additions

Add foods like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to your shake to increase the protein content, aiding in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Consume with a Balanced Meal

Drink your shake alongside a meal that includes lean protein and complex carbohydrates like quinoa or barley to help balance the sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Exercise Moderately Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after having your shake to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Timing of Consumption

Consider having your shake at a time when your body is more sensitive to insulin, such as after a workout.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to the shake over time, and adjust the ingredients as needed to better suit your body's needs.
