Just Gone Bananas

Just Bananas
I have always been a fan of dried banana chips and have been known to eat a pound in one sitting. The problem is that most of them are loaded in fat and calories making rapid weight gain a near certainty if I ate them as much as I wanted. This is where Just Gone Bananas, a product of Just Tomatoes, fills a great role. These still have a refreshing banana taste but without the high calories of traditional fried banana chips. In fact, I like these better because they have a stronger banana taste without the heaviness that is found in competing banana chips. As in other Just Tomatoes products, Just Gone Bananas has just one ingredient, Bananas. These are great for a boost in potassium post-workout or as a refreshing snack. They are a bit high in sugar and calories to be ideal for weight loss.

The 1/2 ounce size is pretty impractical, unless you are not sure if you are going to like them, because it too small to curb even the tiniest of appetites. I suggest going for the tub though there will be a strong temptation to eat the whole thing at once.
