They are super-easy to incorporate into your diet
Unlike other fruits, bananas are definitely the most convenient healthy snack on the planet. And it’s not because we say so, but most people worldwide agree with us. They are super easy to add to your diet, as they’re the perfect addition to your morning Greek yogurt, afternoon smoothie, or overnight oatmeal.
You can even use this yellow fruit instead of sugar and flour! (Take banana pancakes, for example.) Healthy, delicious, and convenient. Some people even use banana peel for composting or for shoe polishing. No matter how you choose to consume bananas, eat no more than two per day.
Wondering why? Because there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Eating too many could lead to nutrient deficiencies, as most people tend to not make enough room for other foods that contain the minerals and vitamins bananas are lacking, like vitamin D, protein, fat, calcium, and iron.

Very informative and helpful. I had no idea how beneficial bananas were. I plan to eat them much more often now.
just wish they wouldn’t ripen so fast then they are full of sugar how can that be good for you ?
actually,, the browner they are. the more fully they are potent. I know, counter intuitive right?
You can peel them, cut them in small pieces and freeze them. They can later be used in smoothies with apple cider and frozen blueberries.
They are bad for diabetes according to my doctor
I understanding what you are saying. However, ask your doctor what is the specific cure for diabetes and not just addressing the symptoms with the no aftermath side effects.
There are more good things in Bananas than very small amount of sugar.
I buy green bananas and slice them and put them into freezer bags to retain the benefits of green bananas. I hope that this helps.
Vitamin C and potassium in bananas.
this is a fantastic article; very informative I am definitely going to consume more unripe bananas
Great cover on bananas! Eat at least one of the day m-sometimes, one and a half.
Thank you
I did know that bananas is good for you…but didn’t know that bananas are that good for us to eat every day ….thank you for sharing 🙏💕 Joann 💕
Avery important banana positive is that when they start to turn brown just unskin them, cut in bite size pieces, put in a freezer bag and freeze…They will last for months without turning brown…They will defrost in minutes or just add to milk and eat…
Great article. I didn’t know tou shouldeat green bananas. I eat ripe bananas almost daily.
Thank you so much about the article of eating unripe bananas and its benefits. I’ve been eating unripe bananas since I was a child and I love it. Now I know why I never gained weight. I will pass this information to all my friends . I’m 70yrs old and I wear small sizes and 5’5 height
I learned more about bananas than I ever knew from this very informative article. I really only knew that they were a good source of potassium. They have now become an important part of my diet due to this outstanding article.
That’s exactly what I do when I can’t eat them before they start to get over ripe.
Me too. I knew about the potassium, and knew they have more sugar when the get overripe, but I sure didn’t know about the green ones. I love to make peanut butter banana smoothies with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a few spinach leaves, and chia or flax seeds.
It’s good, give it a try!
It would be helpful to define what an unripe banana looks like (how much green etc). Otherwise, very helpful content.
Good grief.
If bananas help regulate sugar levels why every time I eat bananas my sugar goes up please explain!!!!
That would be a question for your Primary doctor
Good to know,I discover more about it, very helpful
Unripe bananas taste like mulched cardboard.
I agree with Pam what is considered an unripe banana? How much green?
Bananas are a super good.
But not the best when kept in the refrigerator, it makes them gummy but still good 😊.
I have a horrible reaction to bananas which are nausea, cold sweat.
I think an unripe banana is good as long as i can peel it. Thank you for the very informative article about bananas. I look forword to many more type articles.
