About Half of a medium banana

Its natural sweetness makes it a healthy alternative to processed sugars, while the soluble fiber supports digestive health. The potassium content is especially notable for aiding heart health and muscle function. However, due to its carbohydrate content, it may not suit very low-carb dietary plans.
