Anyone try bananas? When?

They are good carbs & the less ripe the less carbs. They are perfectly ok to eat especially pre-workout. Carbs before exercise & Protein after!

I'm adding .5 banana (frozen) to 16 oz unsweetened almond milk and matcha powder and chia seeds, as a Breakfast smoothie
Just started last week instead of Premier Protein shake

My nutritionist told me no nuts or seeds of any kind until 8 weeks because they could get lodged in little pockets of your still healing stomach where sewn up.

I tried 1/2 Banana in week 3 in a smoothie and had no problems. But I have had zero problems with any food (but knocking on wood as I say that).

As I said, depends on your plan. And yes I also said I save them for a treat before a 6+ mile run. I eat them half green.

That said, whether they are “good” or “bad” depends on your plan. They are high in the glycemic index scale and have a lot of sugar (close to 30g) for only about 4g of Fiber. And nowhere near the antioxidant berries have and they’re even over rated for potassium (beans pack a way better bang for your buck).

My point is to check YOUR plan. Mine didn’t include them for a while.

We were allowed to eat bananas after four weeks (when all fruit and vegetables were ok to eat). Haven't had a problem with them.
