I've recently discovered a product called Seeberger Banana Chips. They are ridiculously delicious but I'm worried they may not be a good choice for a snack because I think they have alot of sugar in them. I'm not 100% sure though because the package is all in German which I cant read.

Does anybody have any info on this brand of Banana chip? Its not in the database and without being able to read it I cant enter it myself.

    Don't eat them. Bananas (I think?) have the most sugar in them of any fruit out there. If you must eat bananas, eat them raw. I wouldn't bother with dry fruit. Keep them around as an occassional snack?

    I hope this can help :-). I don´t know if they are added any sugar, but banana in its self contains a lot of natural sugar.

    You also want to stay away from coconut oil.

    I recently learned that most brands of banana chips are also fried...not a good diet choice...

    Banana chips are loaded with sugar yeah, i love them but i keep them for when i've got a sweet tooth , do dont throw the bag out if you're a sweet tooth kind of person 2! :)


    Btw! I ain't been shopping in a while but I'm *pretty sure* in a 150g bag of them there was 900 or so calories!

    Can't be exact with that though

    This did help! Thank you! Guess I'll keep these as an occasional treat only!

    This bag has almost 800 calories for 150g. I only had about 30g though so I'm still good for today. I'll just make these an occasional treat.

    150g seems like a lot!

    Like everything - portion control is the key. A few banana chips (I use them as a decoration on banana muffins - one per muffin!) are fine, but a whole bagful in one go - no.

    I don't know this brand, but I give my daughter banana chips that are dipped in honey and sugar then fried to help with her weight gain as she's very underweight. I try to avoid them like the plague (especially as I'm rather partial to them dipped in nutella lol).

    150 g is actually a pretty small bag but loaded with calories apparently. I didnt eat the whole bag though. Only about 1/5 of it.

    Yeah I just put a bunch in cereal when I really crave them, although dry is better! I only brought them because I assumed they'd be healthy had a right shock when I looked at cals :(
