How to consume russian banana pancakes without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese when you eat the pancakes. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grain Flour

Substitute some or all of the white flour in the pancakes with whole grain or almond flour. These flours have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Fiber

Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oatmeal to the pancake batter. Fiber can slow down the digestion process and help manage blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Top your pancakes with nuts or seeds like almonds or sunflower seeds, or use a healthy fat like avocado oil in the batter. Healthy fats can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Choose Low-Sugar Syrups

Replace traditional pancake syrup with a small amount of pure, unsweetened applesauce or a sugar-free syrup alternative.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Serve your pancakes with a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. These can add bulk and nutrients without significantly affecting blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Be mindful of your portion sizes. Smaller quantities of pancakes will have a lesser impact on your blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating and chew food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body manage blood sugar spikes more effectively.

Drink Water

Accompany your meal with a glass of water instead of sugary drinks. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. Physical movement can help your body use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.
