I have a friend who is a bit of an airhead. She’s gorgeous. She’s sweet, and she’s very talented but she is the definition of a ditz. Until I explained it to her the other day, or at least tried, she didn’t know that bananas are not sugar free.

She was making herself some sugar free banana pancakes using real bananas. I said to her, “Umm, Chrissy (her name is Christina), your pancakes won’t be sugar free if you put bananas in the mixture.”

So I figured I’d do a post just in case there are other Chrissy’s out there who don’t know that they’re consuming sugar when they eat fruit. A standard sized banana contains about 14 grams of sugar. Any natural product you put in your mouth that tastes sweet has sugar in it.
