Substitute for Bananas?

I am trying to cut back on sugar and would like to know if there is anything I can use in place of bananas since they are very high in sugar.

Thanks!

  • I use persimmons instead of bananas in my smoothies. I can’t stomach bananas. I’m not sure if persimmons contain less sugar than bananas but they make a creamy smoothie as well.

  • I also do not eat any bananas. Bananas in the US are all gassed, even the organic ones. They are grown organic, but brought to the US and gassed in rooms to turn them from green to yellow. Ugh. Fuju persimmons make smoothies thicker. Pears are good, high in pectin. Although persimmons have even more pectin. I like to make Persimmon Sauce for breakfast: 1 med orange, (peeled and chunked) put in blender first and blend. Add 2 cups fuju semi-soft (not real hard) persimmons and blend. If needed at a TBLS of water. Oh and blend in 1/4” of fresh ginger root slice. Yum. Makes a lovely big bowl.
