Enjoy the Cold with a Delicious Banana Shake
Ketogenic Diet
I joyfully put bananas back in my diet. Bananas are the most popular fruit in the United States. They are available year round. Although you may think they are not suitable for dieting, due to their starch and sugar content, think again. They have a low glycemic index of 54. Combining with fat and protein in a shake lowers the glycemic index of the meal even more. We mix bananas with plenty of water when we make them into a shake, which lowers their overall caloric density.
