I don't like fruit... pretty much all kinds.
But each week I try to have at least 1-3 peices for variety and health benefits.

I really don't like bananas at all, but for variety and health I have been trying to have one at least a week.

What's your take on bananas??

    They go great with peanut butter, cocoa and whey in shakes.

    Oh man, I couldn't live my life without bananas. Especially finger bananas, they amuse me so much.

    Totally terrible and dangerous for the body.
    Especially the fibers, pectin, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium it contains.

    Vitamine C, B1, B2, and B6 that bananas have is also something you would definitely watch.

    Fruit is not essential in your diet, but a useful addition. I'd rather have veg which is far lower calories, full of nutrients and you can have more of to fill you up.

    I don't like bananas much either, but if I slice it and put in in a bowl with yogurt and granola (and maybe some honey if I'm feeling saucy) it's pretty filling and a great way to stay full for hours.

    I really like fruit. If I was trying to feed fruit to a child that didnt like it, I would blend frozen fruit in the blender with a little milk and/or yogurt. It comes out like a milkshake and tastes soooooooooo good.

    I don't think you should have to force yourself to eat anything you don't like. If you REALLY don't like bananas, there are plenty of other foods you can eat. For example, if its potassium you're looking for, [sweet] potatoes, orange juice, and yogurt (among others) are also great sources. Enjoying your food is such a huge part of your diet maintenance. If you have to hold your nose and force it down, don't eat it.

    For the record, I love bananas ;-)

    I love to eat them on the way home from the gym. quick easy snack. reasonable calories and cheap to buy(since I share my fruit with three children. lol)
