Ah, Bananas. The stereotypical food of monkeys and apes. The cute yellow peel that trips cartoon characters and causes them to crash into hilarious and impossibly painful wall-slams. The beloved soft food that babies like smashed to sauce consistency. Heck, even your dog likes bananas! Ever seen a rabbit eat a banana? You're welcome.
Bananas are a pretty great fruit on their own, too. They are full of the body-nurturing potassium that prevents humans from having cramps. Bananas have even got their own little wrapper, which makes them easy to carry for lunch! They are inexpensive, and easy to find. Not to mention, a cool banana on hot summer day is both refreshing and scrumptious. With a little flair, Bananas are a great desert! Where can I even begin? Banana cream pie, banana's foster, banana pudding, banana on an ice cream sundae, frozen banana popsicle and even a chocolate covered banana. The list could go on for days! Healthy and also a sweet treat, right?
YES! There's a myth going around the internet that Bananas are full of sugar and are not worth the calories. That's simply untrue! A ripe banana is around 108 calories on average, They have tons of potassium, and fiber that you want your body to have! I'm talking, super-fruit level nutritional value! If you think blueberries and pomegranates are a great super fruit, move over berries, here comes the banana!
