Bananas - eat them alone or with other sweet fruits such as dates. And better not with food.

Because bananas are at the same time cool, heavy, dense, sweet, and slimy they have very similar qualities to Kapha! The banana is notoriously slow to digest- which is why people with strong appetites and athletes gravitate towards them as a balancing food.

The banana is part of why THE SMOOTHIE gets such a bad rep in modern Ayurveda. Learn to make your drinks without bananas, and your stomach will thank you. I had to undergo this transition many years ago, and I don’t even miss them in my occasional smoothies now. I certainly don’t miss the banana burps. Use chia seeds to make it thick instead! You’re welcome.

Try having the banana when you are very hungry, by itself. Then an hour or two later, have a meal.
