I peeled a ripe banana, broke it into a few pieces, froze it then pureed it in my ninja blender today. I added 2 tbsp PB2 powder and 2 ounces of chobani nonfat vanilla greek yogurt. It had a creamy consistency and tasted good. You can also add any fruit to the banana, like strawberries, blueberries...

Delicioso!

That does sound good! What is pb2?

Its Peanut Butter that has had 80+- % of its fat removed. Also it's a powder

Where do you buy it from? Sorry about all the questions! I am 2 weeks post op and trying to figure all this out. Lol

If you google it they have a store locator on their website. I live in a pretty small town & there are 4 stores near me that carry it.

Or you can order it by the case from their site.

Thanks! I just looked it up. I do have a health food store near me that has it

They also sell it on Amazon

Yes, bananas have sugars, natural sugars, not processed sugars, so our bodies process them differently. And yes, they have carbs in them. But bananas aren't going to make you fat. They are a great snack and full of healthy nutrients. I am tired of bananas getting a bad rap. They are healthy and it is not like you are going to eat 10 bananas a day. If you are concerned about carbs and don't want to eat them, that is your choice. But quit spreading uninformed information.

yes bananas have carbs and fortunately, I dont eat this treat very often, maybe once every two weeks. I wanted something sweet like ice cream, but I can't handle the carbs in the low carb ice cream...makes me sick even ( I only had 1/2 the serving size too!) I tolerate this treat much better and dont feel the "downer" from carb intake.

It's everyone's personal choice what they eat. For you, it is not worth it, for her, it is a great treat!

I eat a third of a banana with real Peanut Butter almost every day- and I'm 10 weeks post op and have lost 56lbs- since surgery- some peoples bodies handle it! Fruit is good carbs! And they help me to lose every day!

I'm going to pipe up here. My nutritionist WANTS me eating fruit! Until 3 months post op I could barely get out of bed and literally had to crawl there sometimes at night I was so exhausted. Spoke to my nutritionist at a 3 month follow up, told her what was going on and she said FRUIT! Now I eat 2 servings of fruit a day (a total of 1 cup of fruit) and I feel better. I notice if I got a few days without eating fruit I start to get sluggish again. Fruit is not a bad thing and this recipe is delicious as I'ce tried it several times.

I think I'll take the advice of the skinny chic
