    Noooooooo, bananas are evil!

    Eating a banana a day ruined me for artificially flavored banana product thingies. How am I supposed to enjoy laffy taffy and...er...other things that I can't think of right now??
    :)

    I still like banana-flavored things as long as I pretend they're not banana.

    My favorite frozen yogurt shop sometimes has the banana nilla wafer flavor and I just couldn't.

    I AM all over the chocolate banana built bars tho.

    I don't think I've ever had one. They're kinda marshmellowy, right?

    I describe their texture as "permanently squished, old marshmallow"

    Yeah, but grosser than a marshmellow. And the worst artificial banana flavor you could imagine.
    Banana Runts are the only other banana-flavored thingie I can think of.

    Banana flavored mini tootsie pops are awesome. Then again, I've been eating the mini tootsie pops since I quit smoking so I may not be a really good judge.

    I think the banana is one of the best carb sources available. Eat before, during, or after a workout or at any time you feel you need the carbs. I've carried them with me on bike rides, hikes, kayaks, etc., and I really appreciate the biodegradable packaging.

    Now, here's a hard question: my grocery store puts the organic and conventional bananas right next to each other with significant price difference. I can't decide if organic bananas are worth it, particularly since pesticides are likely mostly on the outside of the peel, and are thus not consumed. Please discuss.

    I get the biggest ones i can find, organic, because price difference is negligible between organic and conventional. I let them ripen, peel and cut them into pieces, then freeze. And then enjoy whenever, breakfast oatmeal toppings, snack.

    Banana Laffy Taffy will never be turned down by me🍌


    Umm........... I m not advocating this, but I’m pretty sure there may have been times,(probably more than once) pre MFP, that I had 1500 calories from sugary foods, problem was, I had a lot of calories from other foods in the day as well 😳 (embarrassing)

    Those things are possibly the most disgusting food ever.
