Banana Power

Theres a reason why bananas are termed power food and also why there was a cartoon show called Banana Man (maybe your too young to remember). In any case bananas are and will always be a main part of my diet.

So why bananas?

To start with they contain the following:

• Viatamin B6
• Vitamin E
• NSP (fibre)
• Potassium
• Natural Sugars
• GI 55

Bananas also boost energy, you can have it with a glass of water as an alternative to expensive sports drinks
and is great when made as a smoothie with other fruits.

They are packed with slow release energy, this makes them better than sugary drinks and confectionary for that quick energy boost.

As bananas are naturally sweet they are particulary useful to those of you who have a sweet tooth and also can be added to various dishes as a sweetener rather than using the usual white powdery sugar.

So if your craving that chocolate bar then how about swapping it for a banana instead?
