Something other than bananas?

Hi Everyone,

I just started with the 4-week fitness blender meal plan which seems easy to follow except a lot of their meals and snacks include bananas, sometimes multiple times per day. I hate bananas and have been trying to find an alternative to them that is nutritionally similar. Does anyone have suggestions on something similar? The only one I've seen is a potato, but a potato isn't a very realistic substitution for a snack.

    Why bananas? Does the meal plan say why? Is it the potassium? Or the consistancy? I found a big bag of frozen, pre cut mangos at BJ's Wholesale and I toss them into my smoothies in the morning to switch things up. They seem to give my smoothies a thicker consistancy like bananas do. To beef up the potassium content, there is coconut water.

    Then what DO you like? Fit it into your calorie and macro goals and eat that.

    This--you need to understand why they are included. If it's nutritional, than you'd look for something with similar macros, but if it's just because they are a fruit and serve as a good base for a smoothie, you'd be find with melon and/or berries plus maybe some extra milk (or coconut milk/almond milk).

    Mangoes is a great idea if that's the deal too.
