Potassium, magnesium, and fiber -

Although tropical fruit is packed with beneficial nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and fiber, it is not an ideal choice for a morning snack. According to Dr Gioffre, this is because they contain 25% sugar and have moderate acidity. While they may provide a temporary energy boost, they will leave you feeling fatigued and hungry shortly after. Dr Gioffre even goes as far as referring to them as "Nature's candy." Consuming these fruits can potentially trigger cravings and result in excessive eating later on.

Combination -

Hope is not lost for those who enjoy bananas as breakfast. According to a food expert, there is a solution. Although consuming only a banana may make you feel weak, you can mitigate this by combining the banana with nutritious fats, spices, and herbs. This will help counter the insulin spike caused by bananas.

Mix -

Dr. Gioffre suggests incorporating ingredients like coconut butter, raw almonds, hemp, flax, and chia into your diet. According to him, in order to fully reap the benefits of potassium, fiber, and magnesium without experiencing a sugar rush, it's important to neutralize the acidity of bananas.
