Bananas a Superfood!

Bananas are a great portable snack, especially pre-workout!

Why it’s a super food:

-Bananas are high in potassium, which may help fight high blood pressure, strokes, and electrolyte deficiency.

-Bananas have 5 grams of fiber per serving, which may help lower cholesterol and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.  Try bananas in oatmeal for a healthy, high-fiber breakfast!

-Bananas a great for a quick energy boost, as they have twice the carbohydrates of an apple.

-Bananas are a great, natural antacid.
