In this household we do a lot of sport and we eat a lot of bananas. I'm not here to list the health benefits of this wonderful natural gift but they are really a great snack before or after workouts as they are rich in potassium and magnesium and are an easily digestible source of carbohydrates. Bananas help muscles function and recover well and can also help maintain and restore an optimal level of electrolytes. It is safe to say you will always see bananas in my fruit bowl
