RECIPES: Bananas - Banana Wraps; Banana Smoothies

August 29, 2007

Try something VERY simple: Banana wraps.

Banana Wraps

Ingredients:

1 large lettuce leaf (romaine works well)

1 banana, peeled

2 dates

water

Procedure:

1. Blend dates and water into a thick sauce.

2. Place banana on leaf.

3. Pour sauce over banana "to taste".

4. Roll.

5. Eat and enjoy.

Prep time: I don't know ... I'm already eating!!!

You can also make a nice banana smoothie, if you like smoothies:

Banana Smoothie

Ingredients:

Bananas (to desired quantity)

Water (to desired thickness)

Procedure:

1. Blend and drink ... slowly :)

Options:

- Add some dates.

- Add some celery.

- Add some celery AND dates.

NOTE 1: Banana + celery + water = the best sports drink in the world. (Idea courtesy of Dr. Doug Graham)

(Obviously, would be thinner than a typical smoothie. Perhaps 2 bananas to a quart of water.)

NOTE 2: Chewing one's food is preferable to blending, unless one physically cannot chew.

Best,

Sounds delicious, I will definitely try these out. I make banana ice cream with frozen bananas and dates all the time. It is delicious. My son loves it too. He thinks it's real ice cream. I have to make a few other flavors for him. Perhaps I will make some chocolate with cacao, or something.--ScottDon't under estimate the wisdom of nature.If man made it, don't eat it.Raw Vegan--- pnparlette wrote:<pnparletteRE: Bananas:Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:47:56 -0400

Peel, eat. :-)

Making smoothies is a nice way to get variety. Bananas and fresh oj with a handful of raspberries and a pinky size piece of celery.

Banana, water, and a touch of ginger - good anti-inflammatory drink if in pain

Bananas, pineapple and strawberries....

Lots of fun combos,

I also take frozen bananas and other fruits and put them through the champion juicer with the solid screen - yummy soft fruit cream! For extra touch of flavor I sometimes add a touch of vanilla powder.
