I had the chance to try out a couple new ways to use bananas. I always buy them in bulk and end up getting tired of eating them alone or in cereal so these ways are fun to use up those I might not have used otherwise.
I sprayed a pan with cooking spray and cooked slices of banana for a couple minutes. I then put a small amount of light margarine on a piece of whole-grain bread and topped the bananas and added a smidge of cinnamon sugar. Yum!
Then, I made a simple smoothie using one banana and a half cup of frozen mango chunks, about a half cup of fat-free milk and a cup of ice. A quick blend and breakfast was ready in a flash.
Do you have a fun way to add more fruit to your diet? Post it in commments!
