banana chips as fuel?

Sounds good to me! I make my own, in a food dehydrator that I bought at WalMart. Bananas, pineapple, apples, etc. You can even dehyrdrate yogurt and it comes out like that chewy fruit roll-up! Takes a bit of practice and experimentation with how big to cut up the pieces, how long to let it dehydrate, etc.

If you get into it, here's a good link for some information on what you can do. I paid around $35 for a dehydrator.

I eat them, try to balance them with some protine like peanuts or something and its even better! I eat them ALL the time!
