@caucasianjames I have good news for you! 🍌 Bananas are perfectly fine in smoothies, and they’re a great source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and other beneficial nutrients.
Yes, one small study found that bananas may reduce absorption of one specific subgroup of polyphenols. But that doesn’t mean bananas “cancel out” the nutrition in your smoothie. Foods are incredibly complex, and the overall nutritional benefits of adding a banana almost certainly outweigh any tiny reduction in one class of compounds.
Please don’t let wellness culture ruin bananas too. 😅
