Who doesn’t like peanut butter and banana? Bananas are one of the most widely consumed foods in the world for good reason.  Packed with Potassium, bananas can help reduce blood pressure due to the vasodilative effects of Potassium.  And the protein from the peanut butter gives your body the amino acids that are much needed for tissue repair following surgery.
