The Best Times to Eat a Banana for Mood:
Mid-Morning or Afternoon Slump: To combat fatigue and lift spirits naturally.
Pre-Workout: For steady energy that supports physical activity, which itself is a powerful mood enhancer.
As Part of a Balanced Meal: Pair with a source of healthy fat (like a spoonful of almond butter) or protein (Greek yogurt) to slow digestion and provide even more sustained energy and tryptophan absorption.
A Simple, Powerful Ritual: The “Happy Hour” Smoothie
Blend one ripe banana with:
A handful of spinach (for extra magnesium)
1 tbsp of chia or flax seeds (for omega-3s, great for brain health)
A cup of unsweetened almond milk
A dash of cinnamon
This creates a nutrient-dense mood-supporting elixir perfect for starting your day or resetting your afternoon.
