I love bananas for breakfast.
I think bananas a convenient food that can be easily combined with other things to make delicious meals, especially for breakfast.
They are a rich source of potasium (an essential mineral for proper muscle and never funciont), fibre (great to avoid constipation and hemorroids), and high levels of fructose (which is a natural sugar, providing a quick release of energy into your blood source).
A banana french toast is a delicious quick low fat breakfast recipe that you can enjoy almost on a weekly basis (unless you go bananas and decide to have it everyday!)
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/2 cup of skim milk
1 mashed banana
1 tsp sweetener
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
8 slices of whole grain bread
1 Tbs low fat butter (Cannola based is best)
This is what you do:
First, whisk together the egg whites, skim milk, banana, sweetener and cinnamon till mixed well.
Then, soak the bread slices into the mix on both sides.
Next, coat a large nonstick frying pan with cannola oil spray.
Finally, melt the low fat butter, and add the soaked bread slices onto the pan till they turn golden.
Serve immediately, and top with a teaspoon of honey, or go to my website and get the low fat syrup recipe for this delicious dish.
2 toasts equal 1 serving.
How's that for a quick low fat breakfast recipe!?
