 The more bananas you eat, the better, so why not cook with them as well as eat them raw? These simple recipes are guaranteed to add more bananas in your diet because they are too delicious to resist (recipes courtesy of foodtv.ca). Banana Bread What you’ll need: - a few bananas, mashed - ¼ cup of honey - 1 ½ tsp vanilla - ¼ cup white sugar - 1 cup plain yogurt - 2 tbsp vegetable oil - 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour - 2 tsp baking soda - ½ tsp salt - nutmeg to taste Mash your bananas first, mixing in honey, vanilla, sugar, yogurt and the oil together in one bowl. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt. When you’re ready, fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Lightly grease a 4x8 inch pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper, then pour in the mix. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, bake for 40 to 50 minutes, then cool for 30 minutes after. All I have to say is, who doesn’t love banana bread? My house smelled great for at least two days! Banana Smoothie What you’ll need: - 2 to 3 bananas - ¼ cup of honey - ½ cup of milk - berries (optional) - a couple ice cubes Dump everything into a blender. Simple as pie! The honey mixed with the bananas is both delicious and soothing. This recipe is supposedly also great for hangovers, though it might be a good idea to cover your ears before starting up the blender. _______________________ the perfect fruit It should not be hard to see that eating more fruits and vegetables can help to promote good health and when it comes to bananas it should be a no-brainer. Naturally sweet, designed to be portable, able to be baked, fried or boiled, bananas are a great nutritional source that should definitely be exploited! |
