Going Bananas

If I had to pick my favorite fruit it would have to be the banana. Especially in the winter months when most of the other fruits all taste like potatoes. One extra small banana (about 6 oz) contains about 72 calories. Bananas contain three different types of natural sugars;sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber which causes a substantial boost in energy.  It is the number one chosen fruit of athletes because two bananas can sustain energy levels for a 90 minute work out.

I have an easy banana recipe for you.   Slice a banana length wise then in fourths. Spray the banana lightly with a buttered flavored cooking spray.  Cook in a frying pan over low heat till both sides are brown.  Put over a small amount of low fat frozen yogurt or just eat plain.  Yum!!!!
