15- The Surprising Banana: A Healthy Fruit, But Without Sustained Energy Release Alone?
Bananas are indeed a healthy fruit, rich in fiber and essential micronutrients like potassium and vitamin C. However, they are also relatively high in natural sugar and lack significant protein and healthy fats. While a great addition to a meal, a banana alone won’t provide sustained energy release.
To maximize the benefits and feel full longer, pair your bananas with a source of protein and healthy fat, like nut butter on whole-wheat toast. Understanding how to build a balanced diet with fruits is key to avoiding that quick energy dip.
