If you eat bananas for breakfast, we have some bummer news
I say this with a heavy heart, and a banana currently in my stomach. According to nutritionist Dr. Daryl Gioffre, and reported by Cosmopolitan U.K., grabbing a banana in the morning for a quick breakfast might not be the best thing for you. Sure, they’ll temporarily fill you up — but they’ll make you feel a little tired and sluggish later if they’re not paired with another beneficial food.
“Bananas eaten alone aren’t the best option because they’re 25% sugar and moderately acidic,” Gioffre said, noting that adding something with a healthy fat might make them a little bit healthier.
This doesn’t mean that you should go ahead and ditch your bananas. Instead, think about incorporating them into one of these all-star recipe ideas. Like these!
