    Guess you can overdo anything. Half a frozen ripe banana is the primary sweeter in my green smoothies. Since it's helping to keep me out of the jelly beans and ice cream, I figure it's a net win.

    The only bad things about bananas is that they are delicious with peanut butter and those calories add up very fast!

    Sooooo good!! :love: :love:

    I would gladly take all donations in the form of ice cream and jelly beans...licorice is a preference for said jelly beans.

    I have a banana every morning in my smoothie.

    Here are some fun facts for the banana lovers out there. Courtesy of the Banana Museum.

    BANANA FACTOIDS:

    An average American eats 26 pounds of bananas every year - that's about 150 bananas. Seems low to me; I average 365 a year.

    Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in the early years (1892-1920s) were given bananas to eat. Many had never seen them and didn't know how to eat them - some ate the whole thing, peel and all.

    Bananas were introduced to the American public at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, the same expo that introduced Alexander Graham Bell's telephone.

    Do you need to watch your sugar levels for your health? I'm on the 80/10/10 lifestyle and I eat 6-8 ripe bananas a day or more if it fits into my calorie allotment. Still loosing weight the same!

    bananas are delicious and they make everything else delicious! They also do wonders for green smoothies- and I really should add them to my veggie muffins or something. Seriously though, **** anyone that tells you to not eat bananas to loose weight, any fruit is good fruit. So enjoy.
