Bananas are so versatile and are an excellent source of nutrients. Due to their texture and consistency, bananas can be added to many different foods or used as healthy substitutes in muffins, smoothies, cakes and even pancakes. They’re also diabetic-friendly.

“Bananas are a high in potassium and vitamin B6 and are a good source of fibre,” says nutritionist Dr Celeste Naudé. “Potassium helps to counteract the blood-pressure-raising effect of sodium, while vitamin B6 plays a role in protein metabolism, glucose and glycogen metabolism, production of neurotransmitters and immune function.”
