How to consume Bananas, Oranges without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a protein source like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts when eating bananas or oranges to slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Add Healthy Fats
Combine bananas or oranges with healthy fats such as avocado, almond butter, or a few slices of cheese. This can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Eat with Fiber
Increase your intake of fiber by pairing these fruits with high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small bowl of oatmeal. Fiber helps slow down the digestion process.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Instead of eating a whole banana or orange, consider consuming half and saving the rest for later. Smaller portions can help manage your blood sugar better.
Choose Less Ripe Fruits
Less ripe bananas have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to fully ripe ones. Select bananas that are slightly green for a milder spike.
Drink Water
Ensure you drink water with your fruit intake. Hydration can help manage blood sugar levels and aid in the digestion process.
Spread Out Consumption
Instead of eating bananas or oranges all at once, spread out your consumption throughout the day. This approach can prevent a large glucose spike.
Incorporate Leafy Greens
Pair bananas or oranges with a side of leafy greens like spinach or kale. These foods contain compounds that help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity like walking or stretching after consuming bananas or oranges. Physical activity helps your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
Select Complementary Low-Sugar Fruits
Balance your fruit intake with lower-sugar options like berries, which can help moderate the overall sugar impact.

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.
