As it turns out, they certainly could! Vitamin B6, which the body needs to produce and use serotonin, is abundant in bananas. Serotonin is one of our feel-good hormones, and higher levels mean we’re less likely to experience low moods or struggle with depressive symptoms.
Eat a banana “naked” as it is or blend one with blueberries, pea milk, peanut butter, and hemp powder in a morning smoothie for a protein-rich start to the day. They taste fantastic on brown bread when they are cut up and combined with your favorite nut butter.
