    Not every day. On occasion, because they are delicious.

    Nah. I probably should, but I can't get more than a few bites in, then I don't want it. I should try those cute little baby bananas I've seen

    1. You don't like them

    ONLY eat them in B&J Chunky Monkey Ice cream or mashed on toast w/almond butter. Do NOT like them plain.

    I put them im my shake in the mornings. I also cut them up and put them on skewers with grapes and strawberries for my kids. For some reason if the fruit looks fancy THEN they want to eat it.

    I also put them on PB & J sandwiches or with a lil nutella. Yummie!

    Used to eat them - found out how many calories they were and now I really don't - want to spend my calories elsewhere

    3. Your potassium level is too high and the doctor advised against bananas, etc. True story. I still have the occasional banana though, because they're YUMMY! :happy:

    I love bananas, but I only eat them on days when I don't have work. They're relatively high in calories and carbs for something not terribly filling, so I eat them on days when I'm more active and not sitting at a desk all day.

    No...I eat them a few days per week, usually on my lifting days as my pre-workout snack along with some protein...the other days I usually eat apples...unless it's summer then I eat a lot of peaches and nectarines.

    Usually yes, I have one in my daily green smoothie and sometimes I'll add one to my oatmeal. Those days I'll eat two of them.

    I'm a huge fan of bananas now. It's cheap and for me way more filling than an apple or an orange. It lasts longer too. If I have a banana as a snack, I'm usually good for a couple hours on an empty stomach. An apple? 30 min maybe 45. I use it as my go to snack food. No refrigeration needed, no packaging, cheap and I can throw it in my bag quickly. Way better than a bag of chips. If they get brown before I can get to them? Throw them in the freezer and make banana smookies or pancakes.
    * I tried a lot of different fruits to find one that was satiating.

    I really dislike bananas. They "feel warm" when I eat them. I can't explain it. I like frozen bananas put through a yonanas machine though.

    My kids eat at least 1 a day. I like that the kids eat them, b/c they are cheap, easy, portable, and a filling snack for little kids.

    Nope, don't eat them. My brother and daughter are allergic, so they just aren't in the house.
