⚡ Quick Facts
Portion Guidance: Start with half a portion and pause before continuing. It's okay to stop early.
🍽️ How Much Should I Eat?
Start by eating 3-4 bites of banana with a tiny scrape of peanut butter. A quarter banana with teaspoon of peanut butter still provides 2-3g protein and quick carbs.
🥚 Ingredients
½ medium banana (Tesco £0.90 per bunch of 6-8 bananas), 1 tablespoon peanut butter 15g (Tesco own-brand £1.30 for 340g or Aldi 90p), sprinkle of cinnamon (optional), drizzle of honey (optional)
📝 Instructions
Peel half a banana (or whole banana if appetite permits). Spread peanut butter directly on banana with spoon or dip banana into peanut butter jar with each bite. Take small bites. Eat slowly over 10-15 minutes whilst doing other things. No dishes needed—eat from the peel.

😔 Low Appetite
Eat just 3-4 bites of banana (quarter banana) with tiny scrape of peanut butter. Still provides 2-3g protein and meaningful carbs. Save rest for later.
🤢 Feeling Nauseous
Plain banana with no peanut butter might be more tolerable when nauseous. Banana is gentle on upset stomachs and provides potassium for electrolyte balance.
😊 Normal Appetite
Eat whole banana with 2 tablespoons peanut butter (16g protein). Add chocolate chips or honey for extra calories. This becomes 250-300 calorie substantial snack or small meal.
📦 Storage & Make-Ahead
Whole unpeeled bananas keep at room temperature 4-7 days. Once peeled wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 6 hours (will brown but edible). Peanut butter keeps for months once opened (store in cupboard). Always have zero-effort protein plus carbs available.
📊 Nutrition & Compliance
Provides quick energy from banana's simple carbs plus sustained satiety from peanut butter's protein and fat. Peanut butter's calorie density means significant nutrition from small volume—helpful when appetite is limited.
