Simple ways to eat bananas?

[raweater]

I'd like to add more bananas in my diet to increase my sugar intake and decrease my fat intake from nuts.

Does anyone have *simple* (less than 5 minutes) recipes to make eating bananas less boring?

Thanks

Blend them into puddings, freeze them and make ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, fruit sorbet), slice them and make romaine lettuce fruit burritos...

[raw_danceruk]

I often eat them in romaine for lunch, simple and tasty

Fork them together with some plumped up goji berries and maca

Into the blender with some hemp butter + cacao

Made into fruit leathers, kept on batch.. then can eat with fruit, greens,nuts, sauces..whatever you fancy!

i usually just eat bananas straight up....do you really find them boring...to me they are NEVER boring....

or to get more bananas in, i blend them (real ripe) with water....

banana burritoes are good too, put a banana, a date or two (without pit) wrap romaine lettuce leaf around...its great...

bananas are a staple for me; i eat at around 10-13 a day...i am super active...

Role in Honey or agave and then roll in cacao, nuts, rasins or seed of your choice.

Make fruit leather. Takes more than 5 mn the first time but you can make a bach for the week.

make a cacao sauce (raw cacao powder, water and agave - mix) and dip the bananas in it, then in some chia seeds... healthy and delicious!!!

One of my favorite desserts before I went raw was bananas foster.

So, I blend up a raw version with spring water or almond milk as the base; a banana or two; a TON of cinnamon, sometimes a little ginger for good measure, and (as soon as I can find it) raw organic rum flavoring (it still tastes delish without it though). Soooo yummy and addictive!

I used to love that too, it was also my favorite desert! I once tried to make a raw version but still set it on fire (the fire wouldn't last long enough to cook it much at all), unfortunately I found that cold rum doesn't light on fire so I had to toss it in a pan and warm it up for it to light. Maybe next time I can heat the rum a little and then pour it over and light it, but heating alcohol can be dangerous.

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

1 apple
2 bananas
agave or honey
cinnamon or almond butter

peel, core, and pulse apple in processor. add in bananas and choice of other ingredients and blend to the consistency of oatmeal.

I dont recall who posted this before but it is delicious!!

JEN, that sounds great, thanks. I'll definately try that one too. By the way, I would not peel the apples, the most vitamins are there, we eat raw to preserve vitamins, so I always keep edible peels on because they usually have the most nutrients.

150g blueberries, 1 banana, 1/2 avocado blended.

frozen bananas blended with redcurrants - heavenly icecream.

200g kale blended with 4 bananas and water - easy green smoothie

bananas eaten in the same mouthful as brazil nuts. reminds me of banana sandwiches.

flax crackers made into banana sandwiches.

i find it hard not to eat too many bananas - I add them to all my smoothies, and would like to add them to all my desserts. Frozen bananas added to smoothies take them to a new high.

there was an eggnog milkshake recipe around somewhere based on frozen bananas with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves etc..

I like to thickly slice bananas and press a walnut or pecan into them. It looks surprisingly fancy and it is very easy. It looks a bit like a cookie or petit four.

We also like to slice them and sprinkle cinnamon on them. Then we drizzle a little agave over them.
