Known for their fiber content and carbohydrates, bananas can provide energy that lasts longer than other foods that are low in fiber and carbohydrates, according to Medical News Today. The prebiotic content of bananas might also help combat fatigue, according to nutritional psychiatrist Uma Naidoo, who wrote for CNBC. The prebiotics in bananas support the probiotics in yogurt, according to Adventist Health, so eating bananas with yogurt is beneficial. A prebiotic is a good bacteria that feeds the gut, and a probiotic is a good bacteria that lives in the gut.)
