I know that banana chips might not be something that you eat everyday, but they're still a pretty popular food item. Sometimes we might think to grab a few of these as a simple, healthy snack. Simple, yes. Healthy, not quite.
If you're going to get banana chips from the kitchen, you're better off just picking up a real banana. Banana chips, believe it or not, are deep fried. Anything fried instantly takes away the healthy aspect of the food. Unless the label specifies otherwise, all banana chips go through this process. One serving of banana chips can have up to 10 grams of saturated fat. We take in that around that much saturated fat in a full meal, so it's extremely unhealthy to take in that much in a snack, not to mention all of the sugar that is added during the process.
In conclusion, always try to stick to the real fruits and vegetables, if possible. It makes no sense to take in all of that extra fat and sugar if you don't have to!
Make sweet choices--in food and in life.
