How to consume Bananas | Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eating bananas and espresso coffee with a source of protein or healthy fats can help moderate the glucose spike. Consider adding a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt to your meal.

Consume with Fiber-Rich Foods

Including fiber-rich foods can slow down glucose absorption. Try adding chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of oats to your meal.

Opt for Smaller Banana Portions

Instead of a whole banana, opt for half, which will naturally reduce the sugar intake from the banana.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Go for bananas that are slightly green, as they contain more resistant starch and less sugar compared to ripe bananas.

Drink Coffee with Milk

Add a splash of milk or a milk alternative like almond or soy milk to your espresso. The added protein and fat can moderate the absorption rate of sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before or after consuming your banana and coffee. Proper hydration can help with glucose regulation.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use up some of the glucose from the meal, stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, as eating slowly can help with the digestive process and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your banana or in your espresso. Cinnamon may enhance insulin sensitivity and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Size

Keep an eye on portion sizes, particularly of foods that are more likely to cause spikes, to manage the overall intake effectively.
