Introduction

If your gut is off balance, your entire body can feel the impact — from fatigue to inflammation, even mental fog and mood swings. But did you know that green bananas can help reset your digestive system and support heart health too?

While most people associate bananas with sweetness and smoothies, unripe green bananas are a hidden gem: they’re rich in resistant starch, a powerful prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in your gut, helps stabilize blood sugar, and even supports your immune system. 💚

✅ Naturally Gluten & Dairy-Free – A gentle option for sensitive digestion.
✅ Supports Satiety & Blood Sugar Stability – Ideal for those managing insulin sensitivity or looking for slow-releasing energy.
