Avery has become a banana-loving toddler and she will throw a fit when there’s one in site and she doesn’t get to make it disappear. Add NuttZo to the equation, and, well, telling her “No” is not an option!
With our daughter’s current love for bananas, I figured I’d bring up an old post from my past foodie blog, Just Add Cayenne, and share some fun facts about bananas you probably didn’t know. I found them interesting before, and after reading (because we all forget), found them interesting again.
The following is taken directly from the post titled 15 Fun Facts for Friday: Bananas.
We all know and love bananas…right? Well, most of us do. In an attempt to make a quick, but interesting post, I wanted to share this list of 15 Facts You Probaly Didn’t Know About Bananas. Have a look; that’s scary to think a fungus could wipe out the whole banana population.
Imagine, a world without bananas…..
No peanut butter and banana sandwiches or wraps. : (
No mashed banana to make Low-fat Peanut Butter Bread. : (
No cool and creamy easy banana ice cream. : (
No chocolate peanut butter banana smoothies. : O
And the list can go on and on…
I enjoy bananas, and from the other bloggers I read out there, you like them too. Here’s a post I made a while back on banana benefits and how to enjoy them. Sometimes, I just unwrap a banana, mash several dry roasted almonds inside, and then proceed to eat. I’ll do this when there’s no peanut butter around or when I want a sweet, salty, and crunchy treat.
Q: How do you enjoy using bananas? If you don’t like them, is it allergies or just plain repulsed by the green/yellow/black-spotted yellow fruit?
Now go get yourself a banana, a jar of NuttZo (or nut butter of choice) and enjoy your Friday!
Is Avery going to become a Chiquita girl?
Doubtful, maybe they’ll be close friends.
