Phenomenal Foods

Today's phenomenal food is:

Bananas!

I've always loved bananas! Except, I'm weird and only like them when they're still slightly green. If they're too ripe, forget about it, especially if there are brown freckles on them. And I hate the little bottom part that's at the base of the peel. I always pinch it off and throw it away. Picky, picky. . .I know.
According to an article from Health.com, bananas are good for weight loss. It says, "A slightly green, medium-size banana will fill you up and boost your metabolism with its 12.5 grams of Resistant Starch. Even a ripe banana still ranks high on the list of foods containing RS, with almost 5 grams." I've been making my Skinny Banana "Ice Cream" from Skinny Mom almost every night! Health.com's article had a recipe that looked delicious: Chocolate-Dipped Banana Bites. I'm obsessed with dark chocolate, so these would be the best of two things! I buy at least one bunch of bananas every week. They're so tasty AND filling!

Instead of a pretty picture of bananas for this week's Phenomenal Foods post, I'll leave you with some banana humor instead, since I'm a banana snob.
