    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! :)

    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.
