Bananas—Nature’s Energy Boost
Did you know that Chiquita bananas provide potassium, Vitamin B6 and complex carbs? They also
have manganese (essential for metabolizing fats, carbs and protein for energy) and Vitamins A, C, E and K, all
occurring naturally.
Chiquita bananas are high in fiber, fun to eat and naturally tasty to satisfy your
sweet tooth. They come in nature’s own biodegradable package.
Perfect for the whole family, Chiquita bananas are
the ideal natural breakfast, on-the-go afternoon snack or pre-workout boost.
- Bananas are high in fiber and low in calories—one medium banana has only about 110 calories—so they'll fill you up fast and keep you regular too!
- Feeling a little sluggish? Try having a banana—bananas contain ~30 grams of carbohydrates which supplies the fuel your body needs for muscle & central nervous system activity.
