Whenever I need a quick pre-workout snack, I always reach for the banana. Then, the peanut butter jar. I try not to get overboard with dipping into the peanut butter jar too much. But those urges are difficult to fight off sometimes! I love eating this snack before my intense workouts because it can keep me full for hours. Yet I was quite surprised to learn that one celebrity trainer has sworn off bananas on the basis that they’re dense, contain little fiber, and won’t keep you full. Really? Has he ever eaten a banana before? I’m no expert in nutrition, but doesn’t a medium banana have roughly the same amount of fiber as a medium apple? Any RDs with insights on this? I wanted to have a bit of fun with my favorite snack and transformed them into pops! I chilled a banana in the freezer for about 40 minutes, slathered a thin layer of peanut butter, and rolled it around my favorite toppings. Presto! Banana peanut butter pops!
