How to consume english banana shake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of banana in your shake to decrease the overall sugar content, which can help in minimizing spikes in blood glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like Greek yogurt or a protein powder to your shake. Protein helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of almond butter or chia seeds to your shake. Healthy fats can help stabilize your blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose a Low-Sugar Liquid Base

Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk or sweetened alternatives as a base for your shake to reduce sugar intake.

Add Fiber

Mix in a handful of oats or a spoonful of ground flaxseed. Fiber slows the digestion of carbohydrates and can help prevent sharp glucose spikes.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a dash of cinnamon to your shake. Cinnamon is known for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Balance with Low-Impact Snacks

Plan your meals to include snacks like nuts or seeds that won't cause a dramatic increase in blood sugar, which can help keep your overall glucose levels more stable.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a walk, after consuming your shake to help your body use up excess glucose as energy.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming the shake and adjust the ingredients accordingly to find what works best for minimizing spikes.

Consult a Dietitian

Seek advice from a healthcare professional or dietitian to tailor your diet and shake recipe to better suit your glucose management needs.
