Bananas provide natural carbs, fiber and potassium.
- Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 and fiber, which slow down glucose metabolism.
How to use: Oatmeal with unsweetened nut milk, including 1⁄2 banana and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
Whole wheat bread + nut butter + banana - Almond butter or unsweetened peanut butter contains healthy fats and protein.
