Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Actually Bill does mention them, not in the list but on another page. In my opinion, all fruits are fine. Yes, some are higher glycemic than others, but you eat them with a protein which slows absorbtion. I ate a banana about every day of my first challenge and did fine.

How do you freeze them? In the skin, out of the skin, when ripe or green, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Why should the bananas be yellow. I occasionally use 1/2 a banana when I use a whey protein powder to make a smoothie. It is yummy I add low calorie cranberry juice 1/2 small banana 1/4 cup rasberries, 1 tbs of flax seed oil and about 6 ice cubes. It makes a huge smoothie with about 19 grams of protein and 18 grams of carbs Bridgette > > > Okay? not okay? they aren't on the list but they are a fruit > (and > > cheap and > > > always around and come in their own wrapper ) Are the BFL > > friendly? > > > > Go for bananas that are " less ripe " (without brown spots), etc. and > > maybe a hint of green still. > > > > Collen > > > Do any of you ladies use frozen bananas in shakes?

I freeze them without the skin. I put them in separate baggies for portion sizes. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's better to eat them as " less ripe " as possible. On the other hand, I'm sure a brown banana is a lot better than other choices we could make Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
