Anyone tried eating banana peels?
Heard recently that the peels contain a lot of nutrients and serotonin. It was recommended to blend the whole banana, along with fruit juice, yogurt, other fruit, ice, into a smoothie. I'd heard of plantains being fried up with the peel on, and always thought it sounded a little odd. Some concern about washing the peel quite well to remove pesticides or any other junk from handling.
So I gave it a go last week and had a smoothie every day for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with the first one, as I could hardly notice a flavor difference. It is quite filling. Nothing strange has happened. I even gave it a test and did a really good work out at the gym after drinking one. Some indications that it may help in losing weight, but it's too early to tell.
