How to consume Banana | Protein Shake without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a fiber supplement or blend in some spinach or kale to your shake. This helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of almond butter or chia seeds to your shake. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Ensure your protein shake has adequate protein content. Consider adding Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder to increase the protein proportion.

Choose a Different Base

Use unsweetened almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk to reduce sugar content.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your shake. This spice is known to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Consider using a smaller banana or half a banana to reduce the sugar content while still enjoying the flavor.

Use Whole Grains

If blending with oats, choose rolled oats, which digest more slowly and help control blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your shake to help with digestion and sugar absorption.

Monitor Timing

Consume your shake around physical activity when your body is more efficient at managing sugar.

Consider Prebiotic Foods

Add a small amount of inulin powder to your shake to promote healthy gut flora, which can help with sugar metabolism.
