Replies

Banana's are great! Especially before a work out- the potassium helps to fight against cramping when you run!0

i eat one a day, at least..thats so cool that your jobs brings in fruits and stuff, instead of of cakes
bananas seem to do me some good, so i think you are fine 0 -
was wondering if bananas are a good snack or maybe one to stay away from?
It's a great snack! For anyone to claim otherwise is micro managing their diet way too much. To the point of future failure imho. Unless a trained doctor tells you that you should not consume bananas for some medical reason specific to you, peel away!!!

it's kind of like asking whether or not a hammer is a good tool.
It's fantastic if you need to hammer something. If you need to saw a piece of wood in half, it sucks.0 -

Ill take it! I like the Gala apples though...the plain ol delicious red kind are cheaper sometimes but my Gala's are like $1.50 to $1.99 a lb! Compared to banana's that are like .60 cents a lb! I like a good fuji as well0 -

yes to bananas 0 -
Although my opinion is probably superfluous at this point, I'm going to jump in with a yes for bananas. Also, I second whoever said that they're good frozen! Let them thaw a few minutes before eating them, they're delicious and have a great texture. 0

I just had one this morning in my smoothie...love 'em in my smoothie! They are good for you...but of course in moderation as they are high in caloric..great for after a workout!0

Where do you work!!!! I want fresh fruit! All we get is not so healthy bagels!
We don't get any snacks at my job! But I do like to go to the farmers market and grab stuff--- I live in California and we've got a lot of fresh stuff. I love bananas in the morning before or after exercise. Just make sure they aren't too ripe, it causes a bit of a sugar crash!
I'm definitely going to try freezing them! I freeze grapes for a dessert...0 -
Bananas in pajamas yes to bananas
Your signature is too great!0 -
Oh man, I love bananas...BUT I'm a type II diabetic and they spike my blood sugar like crazy. I'd have to say no to bananas, but only in that scenario. For non-afflicted people bananas are a bit of a super food. And they're yummy 0

WHOOP FOR NANERS!!!

I love me some nanners... Aldi = $.044/lb. At that rate, I get two bushels and freeze one. 0 -
Some people will tell you that bananas are calorie dense, starchy, and contain to much sugar. Other people will tell you that it's a great snack loaded with vitamins and fiber.
Really it depends on how your body process it. If you are souly basing it off of calories grapes or an apple would be a better option.
I personally love bananas. I eat one almost everyday. Along with a lot of other fruit.
Right now I'm not eating any 'manufactured foods' so I rely on my morning banana to add sweetness to my oatmeal!0 -
It's a trap!And now everyone send the poor aussie some banana's!

My housemate was excited about finding them cheap on the weekend at the markets0 -
definitely cheaper fruits out there, but some ppl will pay $2.50 or more for a 250g or less snack (that adds up to more than $10 / kg).at nearly $9 a Kilo here in Australia... It's a bad fruit.. hahaha
My wife now buys me bananas because I won that arguement lol0 -
I love Bananas! They are very good. When I was on WW (since the fruit was free and some vegetables) I would make myself a little tray as a nighttime snack! I would take whatever fruits and vegetables were in the house cut them up and place them in a circle around a center of dipping sauce. Usually,ranch dressing for the celery and that would be my nighttime snack! I would usually have celery,strawberries or bananas.0

Definitely a good fruit! Very filling. One interesting thing I learned though was that the sugar content changes depending on how ripe the banana is so if you're trying to stay low on sugar, don't let it get too ripe! 0

hahaha I agree with this! Seriously though, nutritionally I don't think there is any such thing as a bad fruit.0
