I’m a Dietitian and I Ate a Banana Every Day for a Week—Here’s What Happened

As a dietitian, I know the importance of nutrition. Fruits, including bananas, provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber our bodies need. Despite this, I will admit that there are days when I don’t quite meet my own fruit quota. So in an effort to up my intake, I decided to challenge myself to eat a banana every day for a week.

If you’re like me, bananas are probably one of those foods you don’t think twice about. It’s easy to grab when running out the door, sweet enough to feel like a treat, and tasty in recipes from smoothies to banana bread. It would be simple to eat one every day, right? Here’s how my week with bananas unfolded and what I learned along the way.

Before getting started, I reflected on how often bananas naturally made an appearance in my diet. I realized that while I wasn’t eating them daily, I did enjoy them in several forms—blended into smoothies, sliced over yogurt, or spread with peanut butter as a quick snack. I figured eating one each day wouldn’t be difficult, and I was curious to see if I’d notice any tangible benefits.
