As it ripens it tastes sweeter, so it helps to keep the portion in line with your overall meals. If you watch your blood sugar balance, pairing a banana with a source of protein or healthy fat is a smart move.
How to fit it into your diet
Enjoy a banana before a workout for quick fuel, or as a snack. Pairing it with yogurt, a handful of nuts, or peanut butter turns it into a more balanced snack that keeps you full for longer.
Dietitian’s note
A banana slots easily into a balanced eating plan. What matters is keeping the portion aligned with your overall daily balance and, where possible, pairing it with a food that provides protein or fat.
