Bananas

So, because I am out of stuff to mix with my protein for PWO, I have been having a banana with it.

Why isn't a banana enough for PWO or is it? I do realize it doesn't have as much sugar or carbs as Rilose/Flux etc... Is this why?

I would assume it has enough for PWO. A banana is carbs like a potato, and fructose.

The only reason to not use a banana (other than allergies etc) is if you want a "fast" carb. The type of sugar plus the fiber will make it digest more slowly than rilose, malto, HRS, dextrose, and Vitargo. It will digest more along the speed of OM, Oligodextrin, or fructose.
