How to consume Bananas | Strawberries without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine bananas or strawberries with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or almonds when eating these fruits. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Pair bananas or strawberries with fiber-rich foods such as oatmeal, quinoa, or whole grain toast. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Instead of eating a whole banana, try eating half or a smaller portion of strawberries. Smaller portions will result in less carbohydrate intake, thereby reducing the glucose spike.
Consume with Vegetables
Add the fruits to a salad or eat them with a serving of vegetables like spinach, kale, or cucumber. Vegetables can help balance the meal and slow down sugar absorption.
Choose Less Ripe Bananas
Less ripe (greener) bananas contain more resistant starch and less sugar compared to fully ripe bananas, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after meals containing bananas or strawberries. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity such as walking for 10-15 minutes after eating bananas or strawberries to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming these fruits and adjust your portion sizes or pairing strategies as needed based on your personal response.

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.
