Bananas
Quick Smoothie Recipe I usually eat one in the morning, but there are quite a few different ways to incorporate bananas into a meal. My favorite ways are in a homemade smoothie, because 'nanas adds thickness/body and in a fruit salad! (quick recipe: get fruits - slice/dice/chop - add a little fruit juice or yogurt if you want some zing!). But what's so good about 'nanas? One medium banana has approximately 110 calories, 4 grams fiber, 21 grams sugar, 2 mg of sodium, 400 mg potassium (11%), 15% vitamin C, and 20% vitamin B6.
2c Bananas, 2c strawberries, ice and yogurt ... blend together in a blender Did you know we eat green (unripe) bananas in the Caribbean. We peel off the skin and then boil the bananas until they are soft - delicious! Did you also know that there are different types of bananas. in Jamaica, in addition to the regular 'nanas, there's also the "honey banana." I'm sure that's not the correct name, but it was smaller in length, and tasted sweeter. I've seen it occasionally here in the US. Comments

I have been looking all over the web (and bookstores) for the calories in boiled green bananas. One of my searches led me to your site and I was hoping you might have some leads! I love my caribbean food but have no idea how to calculate the calories!
Thanks!
