Barnana-What a Concept!

I tried a great new product today for the first time, during a nice, long ride yesterday and I felt compelled to share it with you!

I was shopping at Whole Foods not too long ago when I came across a woman who was giving out samples of some kind.  I typically decline offers for these freebies, for no other reason that they’re typically something I wouldn’t eat as part of my Paleo regime.

“Would you like to try a Barnana sample?”, she asked?  

I thanked her but politely declined, explain I had some food allergies and wouldn’t likely be able to eat what she was offering.   I picked up a bag to double check and sure enough, I saw soy lecithin, tapioca, food glaze and gum arabic amongst the ingredients.  

She then asked me to have a look at the other flavor- plain banana.   I was happily surprised to see it contained…nothing other than organic banana!

Non GMO, organic and raw… sounded perfect!

I bought a small bag and was thrilled with the taste, flavor and portability making it the perfect source of high glycemic carbohydrate to take along on an off-season training ride or run.

They’d also  be great to have as part of an in-a-pinch snack when eaten with some raw nuts to lower the glycemic load, kept in the car, the office drawer or your gym bag.

Definitely recommend!
