How can I add more bananas to my diet?

Try adding bananas to cereals or oatmeal for breakfast to get some natural sweetness mixed with your whole grains.

Add a banana with some milk/yogurt and puree for a thick, delicious smoothie.

Banana and peanut butter sandwiches are divine. Use a high-fiber bread (containing 5 grams of fiber or more per slice) + 1-2 Tbsp. of peanut butter + 1 small banana (sliced) for a scrumptious sandwich.

A favorite: applesauce-banana bread. The bananas* and applesauce will add thickness and moisture and make a dense bread/muffin.

*This is a great way to use ripe bananas: throw them in the freezer until you want to make some bread.

1. Mix mashed ripe banana with peanut or almond butter for a sandwich or toast.
2. Mix mashed ripe banana with plain yogurt and a little peanut butter and use as a dip for apple slices.
3. Banana’s creamy texture makes for a delicious smoothie.  Mix in a blender:  1 banana, about ½ cup milk, ¼ tsp vanilla and a couple of ice cubes.  
4. Divide a ripe banana into a few pieces and freeze. This prevents wasting over-ripe bananas and when frozen, bananas have a deliciously creamy texture. Have a piece when craving ice cream for a nutritious alternative.
