Unripe bananas contain one of the world’s richest sources of prebiotic-resistant starch, say experts. Prebiotic-resistant starch makes your cells more responsive to insulin, helping to prevent fat storage around your waistline. Combined with protein such as in a smoothie with a protein powder and/or nut butter can keep you satisfied for hours.
