Both help manage cholesterol, blood glucose and HbA1C, and above all they make your poo much bvetter

Green banana powder is definitely an underrated find! I enjoy putting a scoop into my oatmeal or smoothie! Resistant starch all the way.

Is a green banana simply an unripe banana, or is it a distinct variety?

I had a bag of green banana powder and mixed it into my morning protein shake. Not sure what to say — it was okay, but once it ran out I never bought more.

That's part of my routine too, but the price is steep.

I just gave it a read using a ridiculously nasal voice

The resistant starch inulin is what makes banana powder effective.

Big bags of it on Amazon cost under $1/ounce.

I used to believe these two were interchangeable, but they're not. The forum really does deliver — check this out:

You'll want to read the whole thread; it's well worth it.

I used green banana powder in my protein shakes for a period, but it left my stomach feeling very bloated. Still, I intend to use it in baking.

If you bake it, it becomes useless

Hey, at least it got you to finally say something. Besides, everything alive poops. That said, I'm sure women don't fart, since my mother told me so when I was 5 years old. They simply absorb it. Honest to God, those were her words. It took me a while to work that one out.

Green bananas have been part of my diet because of what they do for the microbiome. Whether they're actually helping in that department is obviously something I can't verify, but I have seen an improvement in constipation.

Wow, I've enjoyed green bananas for ages and never realized they were beneficial for me! That's great!

Since it's low carb, I won't let it go to waste.
