    These are the ingredients in the yogurt in case that influences your choice at all:

    Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Nonfat Milk, Modified Corn Starch, Sugar, Kosher Gelatin, Natural Flavor, Aspartame*, Potassium Sorbate Added to Maintain Freshness, Acesulfame Potassium, Citric Acid, Colored With Turmeric And Annatto Extract, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3. With Active Yogurt Cultures Including L. Acidophilus. *Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine.

    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.

    It would leave you fuller not because of a lack of sugar (bananas have sugar and the molecular composition is negligibly different than things made with white table sugar, like yogurt could be) but because of how the sugar would be processed; fruit sugar doesn't trigger insulin spikes the way a yogurt might, and those spikes often lead people to feel hungry sooner.

    That list seems a lot less scary than all the scary chemical words in the banana picture. I'm changing my answer to yogurt!11!one!

    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. :)

    Aaaah I thought it was just me. The only thing I like with bananas is banana bread, but I'll probably never crave the stuff. Heck, I typically don't think that bananas are worth the calories either.

    This. Also what else I am planning to eat with it. The circumstances leading to these being my only choices might be relevant too. I might want to save both for later or scarf them down before someone else steals them, who knows.

    Banana - fruit yogurt makes me freaking hungry which is annoying.

    Depends on what I'm craving and if I might need the extra protein.
