What is so great about bananas? People seem to either love them or hate them, I for one love them! You’ll always find me including a banana in my breakfast meal somehow! So apart from how delicious they are, find out about banana nutrition and how to make the most of them.
Banana nutrition
Bananas provide Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Folate, Niacin and Riboflavin. They have a low GI rating and are a good source of fibre. This means they take longer to break down. They also don’t raise your blood sugar levels too much, therefore, keeping your fuller for longer and giving you sustained energy! Fibre is also incredibly important for your bowel health and bananas will definitely help you to meet your daily requirements.

For those gym junkies and keen runners out there, Bananas are also a great pre-workout snack providing you with some quality carbohydrates to fuel you for your session.
