What is your favorite fruit right now and why?

Bananas (with little cinnamon) yummy!

the carbohydrates in a banana are fructose and fiber. Fructose is one of the best carbohydrates you can eat. It does not spike your insulin ( very much). The banana will be digested rather slowly, as it is. It probably does not contain very much fructose, either....maybe 8 grams at the most.

So it's a bit more complicated than just labeling it simple or complex.....I probably should have not used either term really =P

Also, it depends on how ripe or under-ripe it is. Very under-ripe bananas have a lot of starch in them and may be considered to be a complex carb. As the banana ripens, much of that starch converts to fructose and therefore, a very ripe banana would be considered to be a simple carb. But like I said, fructose doesn't spike your insulin levels.

I'm allergic to most fruits. The only ones I can stand are some apples (although only the ones that were grown on my parents' apple tree, weirdly enough) and bananas, so I'm going with those!

Mangoes. They make smoothies taste divine.

Blackberries from my garden. They are fantastic this year. I have never had such a good year for them, it must be all our lovely warm weather we've had this year in the UK. It's been an amazing summer ❤☀????????????????????

Bananas. I got a blender this summer and the novelty hasn't worn off yet, and I've discovered bananas in smoothies are amazing.

Raspberries. . . you know, for the ketones. (I kid, I kid). Seriously, I like raspberries and blackberries, as well as any citrus, particularly grapefruit and clementine.
