GreenTealael 25,443 Posted July 22, 2018 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 VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lily’sMom 28 Posted July 22, 2018 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carbs before exercise & Protein after! 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
