    Depends on what a person feels like eating, and what's left in the day for calories.

    It's all listed in the nutritional panel and ingredients list. Not hard to figure out.

    Banana. To use in bananas foster, because I have a recipe for it I've been dying to try. Bought the Banana liqueur and everything.

    Plus, I really hate Yoplait yogurt. Every type I've tried has been a huge disappointment.

    Now, offer me Lemon Noosa instead, and I'd have to think about it.

    Ugh, what size banana are you using to get 150 calories? The ones I eat are about a 105.

    I'd choose a banana any day of the week!

    Banana, unless the yogurt was Greek and had decent protein, as I always have to make a conscious effort to hit my protein goal. Maybe both... I bet I could put the yogurt in a protein pancake recipe and top with bananas and melted peanut butter...

    Banana.
    I don't like flavored yogurts much. I would prefer a plain/vanilla yogurt that I add my own fruit to.

    I don't really like yoplait either, it has a weirdness to it that I can't describe. I do love yogurt however, I would probably choose the banana. If it was Greek gods yogurt or another yummy brand, I would probably pick the yogurt for the protein content and I find it filling.

    Banana, because I'm not particularly fond of flavored, sweetened or low fat yogurt.

    The yoghurt only if it has fruit pieces in it.

    banana. I try and choose foods in their most basic form as often as I can.

    A banana because I am likely to feel fuller longer. There is no artificial sugars, chemicals, preservatives, etc.

    Probably banana as I don't like wasting calories on non Greek yogurt, and I typically don't like banana-flavored stuff.

    Neither. I'm allergic to bananas and don't like them anyway. Just the smell nauseates me. When my kids were litte (many eons ago, lol), if they wanted sliced bananas on their cereal, I would hold them at arms length to cut them so I wouldn't have to smell them, and then run and wash my hands immediately. I really hate bananas,

    I'd just go hungry as I don't like banana or banana flavoring.

    Banana. Solid food keeps you full longer, and those Yoplaits are not very good, and crammed full of added sugar. Just my personal preference.

    The yogurt. Although I wouldn't choose that flavor. I hate bananas. The yogurt has many fewer calories and good amount of protein to keep you full for a while.

    Banana.

    I love bananas whole, but HATE bananas IN things (ie banana bread, in smoothies, etc) and ABHOR *banana-flavored* things (ie yogurt, pudding, ice cream *gag*).

    Give me another flavor of yogurt, and my decision would totally depend on what I felt like....maybe even both. :)

    Depends what I needed for the day in regards to my macros. The banana is all sugar, the yogurt is mostly sugar, but probably has a bit of fat and protein in it too. I'd probably take the yogurt.

    I'd pick the banana because it'd leave me fuller for a longer time than sugary yogurt could.

    But If I had a reaaaal choice... I would rather have some carrots dipped in hummus, or pieces of cheese for a snack.

    A banana only if the banana is still bright yellow and firm. I hate eating mushy bananas. I don't like any yogurt except Greek.

    I realize you probably intended "artificial" to modify "chemicals" (I hope), but regardless...
