Eating one banana will not fully meet your daily potassium needs, but it will get you off to an excellent start. Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter onto a banana. The carbs will give you a quick mood and energy spike, while the protein will keep your energy going for hours.
The banana is a great source of potassium, which is needed for fluid balance and nerve system functioning. The peanut butter is a source of unsaturated fat that helps boost “good” cholesterol and lower “bad” cholesterol in your blood, lowering your risk of heart disease or stroke.
