A few days back I had mentioned how much having an apple along side my plain yogurt enhanced both the apple and the yogurt. On the recommendation of a fried who commented on the post, I figured I would try having a banana with the yogurt. Normally, I have not been a fan of plain bananas. I love bananas as part of a fruit smoothie, and in the past I have enjoyed a banana foster dessert. However, just plain bananas have never really been anything that I've enjoyed. I used to eat them occasionally as a kid, but I haven't had one plain in at least 10 years. So, I figured I was due to try them again, as some of my tastes have changed over time.
Unfortunately, I am still not a fan of plain bananas (or of bananas eaten interspersed with yogurt). The flavor is ok, but the banana itself is a mushy texture that makes me almost gag at times. But, I ate the whole banana (minus a piece at each end). I gave it a shot, but bananas are still not my thing plain.
However, they have some really good nutrients in them, so I might need to start making fruit smoothies with bananas again sometimes. Frozen berries are easy to stock up on, and I always have yogurt and protein powder. My husband likes to eat 2-3 bananas each week, so I do buy them weekly. The only minus regarding making smoothies is the clean-up of the blender.

Oops! I didn't realize you didn't like bananas when I recommended that. :P I on the other hand am a huge fan of them... as you can probably tell from most of my breakfasts. At least you gave them a try... good idea with the smoothies though!
