How to consume Banani without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat your banana alongside a protein source like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. Proteins help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats in your meal, such as avocado, chia seeds, or a spoonful of nut butter. Fats can help control blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Choose Smaller Bananas

Opt for smaller bananas to reduce your overall intake of sugars.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your banana with fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, whole grain toast, or a salad. Fiber helps moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating a banana to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming a banana. Proper hydration aids in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Consume your banana more slowly to give your body time to process the sugars and prevent a rapid spike.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use a splash of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before meals to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Green-Tipped Bananas

Choose bananas that are less ripe; they have lower sugar content and a higher content of resistant starch.

Space Out Carbohydrate Intake

Don't eat other high-carb foods immediately before or after your banana. Instead, space them out to avoid a cumulative spike.
