How to consume Bananas, Kiwi Fruit without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Consuming bananas or kiwi with a source of protein or healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugars. Consider adding a handful of nuts, a slice of cheese, or a serving of Greek yogurt to your meal.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods
Foods high in fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Pair your fruit with oatmeal, chia seeds, or flaxseeds.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Eating smaller portions of bananas and kiwi can help minimize spikes. Instead of consuming an entire banana or kiwi, try half alongside other low-sugar foods.
Choose Different Fruits
Consider replacing some of your banana or kiwi intake with berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, which have less impact on blood sugar levels.
Drink Water Before and After
Drinking water before and after consuming fruits can aid in digestion and help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity such as walking or stretching for 10-15 minutes after eating to help your body process the sugars more effectively.
Add Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables into your meal to add bulk and nutrients without affecting blood sugar significantly. Cucumbers, leafy greens, or bell peppers can be good choices.
Monitor Your Timing
Try eating bananas and kiwi during a meal rather than as a standalone snack. This can help spread out the sugar absorption when combined with other foods.
Stay Consistent with Meals
Maintain regular meal times and have balanced meals throughout the day to help keep blood sugar levels stable.
Consider a Pre-Meal Snack
If you know you’ll be consuming these fruits, having a small, balanced snack beforehand can help mitigate rapid sugar absorption. Try a small apple with a tablespoon of almond butter or a few carrot sticks with hummus.
