Prehead oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 X 5 loaf pan with cooking spray. Cream together sugar and Promise spread. Add milk, buttermilk, egg whites and mashed bananas, mix until well blended. Combine flours, wheat germ, wheat bran, soda and salt until blended thoroughly. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix until just blended-do not overmix. Spoon batter into the greased 9 X 5 loaf pan.
