Nothing wrong with that! The banana is especially good because it's totally unprocessed, comes neatly packed in a wrapper that you can just toss into the bushes. Just don't expect one banana to fuel you all day; more like one banana per hour. The problem with trail mix is that it's essentially a fluid, and hard to eat on the bike. Also, trail mix tends to have a lot of ingredients like nuts and chocolate that give you a lot of fat and some protein, whereas what you really want is carbohydrate.
