In fact, bananas are actually pretty good as a food. Yes, bananas! We knew you would be shocked! They are rich in fiber which helps care for a healthy, fluid gut and are full of micronutrients like potassium, vitamin C and antioxidants which help promote a healthy immune system. Plus, they're high in sugar, which can cause spikes and lows in blood sugar levels, leading us to snack before lunch.
It is a carbohydrate, so eating bananas means consuming a decent amount of carbohydrates, with little good fats and little protein. Since bananas are not a complete food, eating them alone will not sustain you for long and you will soon become hungry. You can add bananas to smoothies or chop them up and spread them on whole-grain toast. Adding a thin spread of your favorite nut butter will add a nutritional hit of protein. Go bananas for bananas, just make sure to eat them with something else to stay full all morning.
