🍌 HEALTHY BANANA TIPS

1. Before-Workout Fuel

Bananas are a natural source of quick energy. One medium banana before a workout gives you a boost of potassium, carbs, and natural sugars — no crash later.

2. Great for Digestion

Thanks to the fiber (especially pectin), bananas help regulate digestion. If you’re ever feeling bloated or backed up… this fruit is your friend.

3. Mood Booster

Bananas contain tryptophan, which your body converts into serotonin — a.k.a. the “feel-good hormone.” Perfect for those meh days.

4. Natural Sweetener

Mashed bananas work beautifully as a natural sweetener in baking — pancakes, muffins, overnight oats — without needing refined sugar.

5. Heart-Healthy Potassium

Bananas = potassium kings. Great for maintaining healthy blood pressure and reducing the risk of stroke.

6. Soothing for the Tummy

Ever heard of the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast)? Bananas are gentle on the stomach and ideal if you’ve been feeling queasy or recovering from illness.

7. Keeps You Full Longer

Bananas are fibrous and can curb sweet cravings fast. They are especially when paired with protein (like peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts).
