How to consume Bananas, Gold Standard Whey Protein without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber
Combine your banana and whey protein with high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oats to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a source of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts (like almonds or walnuts), or seeds (like pumpkin seeds) in your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you’re having this as part of a larger meal, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley, which can help moderate glucose spikes.
Incorporate Protein-Rich Foods
Add more protein to your meal with options like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or tofu to promote a gradual release of glucose.
Eat Smaller Portions
Consider reducing the portion size of bananas in your serving. Half or even a third of a banana might be sufficient to meet your nutritional needs without causing a significant spike.
Consume with Vegetables
Pair your meal with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli. These can help balance your blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Good hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk or some stretching, before eating. Exercise can help improve your body’s insulin sensitivity.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can improve digestion and help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Monitor Timing
Have your banana and whey protein at different times rather than together to spread out the sugar absorption 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.
