I have a lot of links that will assist you.
They should not eat bananas, they cause bloat and are too high in sugars.
Guinea pigs need one cup of a variety of veggies daily. Leafy greens, bell peppers, cucumber, zucchini, etc.
They also need a constant supply of grass hay(timothy is the best) and a constant supply of high quality pellets.
This is an extremely useful chart. All the veggies and fruits they can eat are color coded by the amount they can eat them. It will help you to come up with a daily veggie menu:

ok properly i artwork at a puppy keep and this question has been asked a million circumstances yet all you do is have some one carry the guinea pig for you and you grab its backside and there is that this little pink spot down there and you purely gently push on that and if a pink finding ingredient pops out then its a male and if no longer something pops out its a woman

Don't feed them any of the cabbage family such as cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, etc. It causes too much gas. Onions are not good. Most other fruits and veggies are fine for them but not in great quantities or they will get diarrhea. Mine loved tomatoes and would get it all over there little piggie faces.
They need roughage too so if you can find some nice hay for them is great. Don't leave fruits or veggies in their cage if they don't eat it in a fairly short time because it will rot and can make them sick.

I know they can eat lettuce and carrots. I don't know about bananas, but apples would be fine I'm sure. Just don't give them too much fresh food or they will get sick!

The best thing to feed a guinea pig is alfalfa.
I'm not sure about fruit, but I've feed mine many different vegs.
& scrap things like carrot tops
***it is VERY IMPORTANT to give them vitamin C
