Bananas Beyond Breakfast

Unusual recipes and uses for ubiquitous fruit

 

Mornings are made easy with bananas.  Whether you’re baking them into pancakes, slicing them into cereal or just eating them plain out of the skin, they’re a delicious way to start the day.  And while usually eaten for breakfast, there’s no reason to stop there!  After-all bananas are the number one item for shopping carts across America and 90% of us eat the ubiquitous fruit at least once a month.  If you’ve got it in the fruit bowl anyway- let us share a few ways to enjoy far beyond breakfast.  

1. Use natural sweetness at teatime with Banana Coconut Almond Hot Tea or Banana Dalgona Whipped Coffee
2. Adding a little sweet to savory salads is a trick used by experienced chefs.  Try it for yourself with Dole’s Grilled Banana and Greens Salad.  
3. Don’t toss the peel, cook with it!  It has the highest concentration of nutrients and if cooked properly, can make for a hearty meal!  Curious?  Try our Banana Peel Carne Machada!
4. Grilled Pineapple and Banana Habanero Sauce balances banana’s sweetness with savory char from the grill.  A flavor combination that will have you going back for more.  
5. Bring bananas to snack time with these Banana Pop Tots.  They’re so colorful, kids will think they’re dessert!
