Epic Banana Smoothie

Good morning!

So, just about every morning I have a smoothie for breakfast.  Every smoothie contains the use of many bananas whether it's just plain bananas, or mixed with other kinds of fruits.  I wanted to make mention of one certain time I ate the most bananas at one time I have ever consumed.  15 bananas!  Many people think it's crazy that I eat more than one a day.  Well how about 15?!  And one of the coolest parts about it was that I didn't feel that it took me a crazy amount of time to drink it and I didn't feel overly full from it.  Not to mention how much energy I had afterwards.  It was amazing!

The reason I had that many bananas at one time was because I buy a box of bananas at a time.  That's 40 pounds of bananas!  Well, they were all very ripe at the same time and I had to consume them all before they went bad.  It seemed a lot easier than trying to freeze them.  That requires peeling, stuffing in a bag, labeling, then putting them away.  :p  Way easier to just eat them!  On the last day I only had 15 left so I figured I would just stuff them in the blender and be done with it.  It was so amazing.

Since trying to work with the 80/10/10 lifestyle I always knew that I'm supposed to eat as much as I want.  And I think, the more the better.  However, it seems that what I was doing before wasn't working because even though I was full, I wasn't consuming enough.  I believe that day with the banana smoothie I had over 4000 calories.  And I felt the best that day.  Where I used to strive for 2500 calories per day and got excited about getting up to 3000 or more I now am striving for 3500 and will get excited about having more than that.

That banana smoothie changed me.  Sounds cheesy, right?  (Or maybe I should say it sounds fruity?)  It really did change me though.  I am really looking forward to my next fruity meal and veggies at the end of the night.

What's the most banana's or other fruit you have eaten at one time?  Have you ever had the same feeling I had?  Leave me comments below!  I want to hear about it!

Have a great Friday everyone!
