Re: [fast5] Bananas: The ultimate hunger buster

 

I'm very happy to hear this, as I often will grab a banana to break my fast. I like to slice it in half length-wise and fill it with Smart Balance peanutbutter. Add a large cup of Starbuck's decaf with cream and I'm all set!
 
Another snack I sometimes use to break my fast when I'm craving something sweet is dates dipped in peanutbutter. Mmm!
 
Thanks for this, Tamara!

Bananas: The ultimate hunger buster

Ever grab a snack but then feel hungry again 20 minutes later? Next time, reach for a banana. It's loaded with Resistant Starch (RS), a healthy carb that fills you up and helps to boost your metabolism. Slightly underripe medium-sized bananas have 12.5 grams of RS—more than most other foods. Ripe bananas give you 4.7 grams of RS, still enough to keep hunger pangs away.
