March has been a big news month. Kylie Jenner was named the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, Chris Hemsworth launched his new fitness app Centr and Happy Way launched a new banana protein powder.

One of the most common questions asked about bananas is 'Do they have protein?' When it comes to knowing if a food has protein, there are many signs. Is it crunchy? Then usually no. A lot of fruit is soft and jelly-like instead, which doesn't necessarily mean that you can't eat them for protein - avocados are a good example of that. Is it sweet? Then yes, it contains sugar but not protein. This is because fruits are loaded with fructose, which is the most basic form of sugar in nature - all other sugars are simply bound to proteins or fats, making them more complex molecules called 'sucrose' or 'lactose'.

So, this brings us to the answer of the original question - does a banana have protein? No.

Bananas are a great source of dietary potassium, vitamin C, dietary fiber and vitamin B6. They also contain some protein, but not as much as other fruits such as avocados or nuts. So you should try our Banana Protein Powder!

Now, we hate to have eclipsed the former with the latter, but our banana protein powder is the best news your taste buds have received since your parents first let you lick a paddle pop. If you haven’t already added it to your protein powder repertoire, here are 5 reasons you may reconsider.
