    I eat at least half every day. By the time I get halfway through the dogs have smelled it and come in for their share. They love them so we have a few minutes doing tricks for bits of 'nana.

    apple bananas


    I LOVE apple bananas but can't find them anywhere in my area. And most produce people don't have a clue what I'm talking about! They are amazing!! <3333

    There's an easy granola bar recipe you can make with the old brown overly ripe bananas.


    2 overly ripe bananas
    1 cup rolled oats
    2 tbsp honey/maple syrup
    1/2 cup nuts of your choice
    1/2 cup dried fruit of your choice

    Mix and form into a 1" thick square patty on parchment paper. Cook 30 min in preheated 350deg oven. Cut and cool. So easy and so good!

    Ugh. I *want* to like bananas. I really do. But I don't eat them (except in things like banana bread) because I can't get over the taste and mushy texture. :sick:

    I used to eat one a day everyday until my son developed a love of bananas so intense we cannot run out. I have made many a late night run to the grocery store after work to ensure there was a 'nana for breakfast. He wakes up and the only thing we hear over the monitor..... 'nana?

    So, now I am rarely able to enjoy a banana.. it's sad really.

    Thank you so much for the recipe! I halfed the recipe yesterday and used dried blueberries and pecans and it tasted amazing and was really fast to make! I'm looking forward to trying other combinations soon!

    Rarely. I don't like them enough to justify the calories.

    I love them, but I have to be really careful. I generally avoid them because the high sugar content usually causes me to bloat.

    Now that sounds delish with the toast and almond butter!

    i eat bananas all the time.... usually plain. but sometimes with blueberries and some almonds.
    i just dont understand the peanut butter and banana mix - does nothing for me. lol.
    bananas are high in potassium and very healthy for your and your digestive tract. but make sure you keep an eye out for teh carbs and starch.... super high in those too

    I crave them after a few high salt days like when I've been eating out a lot.. must be that potassium! And I like COLD bananas that are refrigerated more than room temp.
    I usually have 1/2 banana a day, sometimes none. Keep the other half in the fridge and it works just fine :)

    Frozen banana slices are surprisingly delicious. They taste like ice cream! So when I have too many I just slice them up and stick them in a container in the freezer.

    I eat them virtually everyday. My family loves them too. I buy 12 lbs of bananas at the store for 3 dollars and we run out in less then a week. My father likes to joke around and say "you guys are like monkeys!" haha

    I love bananas and eat one a day. I'd eat more, but they are high in sugar/carbs and I need to watch, because I'm an insulin dependent Diabetic. My newest addiction is 0% Greek yogurt, slivered almonds, 1 medium banana and cinnamon. It's packed with protein, very filling and really, REALLY yummy. My husband and I eat this often, especially for breakfast on the weekends.

    I usually have them pre workout if I'm exercising first thing. Have lots of dietary restrictions so they are an easy to go for food when short of time.

    must admit I'm funny with bananas and can only eat them when they start going slightly soft. As soon as they go a bit slushy or start smelling I cant eat them.
