Why the banana of course! The banana is the most well known and eaten tropical fruit.
I eat a banana every day. They are said to contain everything that a human body needs nutritionally. They contain all of the 8 amino-acids that our body cannot produce by itself.
Bananas are available all year round and they are a great source of instant energy.
They contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium.
A medium size banana contains approximately 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. They are easy to digest and very few people have allergies to them.
Bananas are good for your mood because they contain serotonin and norepinephrine. Their nutritional value makes the a great post-exercise snack.
Bananas are great for your meal plans because of their convenience. They make great snacks by just peeling and eating. They even come in their own “packaging” (very “green” and eco-friendly too)!
TIP: Peel your banana from the bottom up and you won’t have to pick those little “stringy things” off it. Thats how the primates do it!
You can use bananas in a variety of ways. You can cook them or freeze them and even make mock ice cream with them!
There are several types of bananas – most popular is the sweet banana pictured here. Plantains are a type of banana most often used in cooking.
There are some great recipes for bananas in my e-book, The Super Simple Weight Loss Plan – Tips and Techniques for Fast and Permanent Weight Loss Without Dieting, Drugs or Surgery.
