    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

    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

    2. You are allergic to them

    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.

    If yes, why?
    If no, why?

    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.

    1-2 per day. Good tasting, healthy, goes great with PB or oatmeal or anything for breakfast.

    I love them. I have gone through stages of being fussy with them. At some times of the year they taste nicer. The only time nowadays I won't eat them is if they are expensive . Then I let my kids eat them first. They are a good source of carbs for work.

    I love bananas, but I don't eat them daily. I get most of my produce from a local CSA share, and bananas...don't typically grow in the Mid-Atlantic. :) I buy some maybe once or twice a month--more in the winter, once I start getting sick of apples.

    That's an allergic reaction. Bananas have a certain protein that some people don't tolerate well. That protein also exists in latex, avocados, some plums, and a few other tropical fruits. You probably shouldn't eat them. Many allergies get worse with more exposure.

    The flavor is fine, the texture not so much.
