Dr. Saurabh Sethi warns that bananas can reduce the antioxidant benefits of other fruits in smoothies, so you may want to leave them out.
A 2023 study showed that adding bananas to smoothies can shrink flavanol content in berries by 84%, diminishing health benefits.
Despite being healthy, fully ripened bananas increase carb content in smoothies, potentially leading to blood sugar spikes associated with Type 2 diabetes.
Sethi highlights bananas' high carbohydrate and sugar content, cautioning that they may contribute to blood sugar increases.
