    Yes, but peanut butter and banana = heaven :tongue:

    mmm, then add sugar-free chocolate syrup... :love:

    I didn't realize how much I loved peanut butter until I had a roommate that eats it EVERY SINGLE DAY...so then I bought some, and then I learned I can't buy it because I can't stop at 1 serving!

    I used to eat bananas with peanut butter ALL the time, until I discovered that once bananas ripen, they convert to glucose like eating sugar. I can't stand green bananas, so now I eat my (sugar-free) peanut butter with apples. Still a great treat!

    That info came from my MIL, who is a ND and recently did a ton of research on glycemic index and foods while getting her phd.

    One online source is http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/carbcounts/a/bananas.htm, although it underestimates the glycemic index of ripe bananas. More accurate gi references say it's close to 70 than 40.
