How to consume Bananas | Espresso Coffee without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts when consuming bananas to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Include Healthy Fats
Integrate healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of almonds, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Opt for a Smaller Banana
Choose a smaller banana or consume only half to reduce the overall sugar intake.
Choose Less Ripe Bananas
Select bananas that are less ripe as they contain less sugar compared to fully ripe bananas.
Add Fiber
Combine bananas with high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to help slow glucose absorption.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking water alongside your banana and espresso coffee to help manage sugar levels more effectively.
Incorporate Cinnamon
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your banana or coffee. Cinnamon can help in managing blood sugar levels.
Balanced Breakfast
Ensure your breakfast includes a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, such as eggs with whole-grain toast and a small banana.
Monitor Portion Size
Keep an eye on the portion size of your espresso coffee, as larger amounts of caffeine can affect blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a short walk, to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.
Alternative Fruits
Occasionally substitute bananas with lower-sugar fruits like berries, apples, or pears, which are less likely to cause a spike.
Limit Added Sugars
Ensure your espresso coffee does not contain added sugars or syrups, as they can contribute to glucose spikes.
Mindful Eating
Eat your banana and drink your espresso coffee slowly to give your body time to process the sugars more gradually.
Consistent Meal Timing
Maintain regular meal timings to help your body better manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
