Including a banana in your breakfast is a great way to start the day.

1. Banana from the Skin

The simplest breakfast is to take your banana, peel back the skin and get right into eating. What could be simpler? What could be as tasty and as good for you? This must surely rate as the easiest, healthy breakfast.

2. Mashed Ripe Bananas

Take ripe sweet bananas and mash them up. You can then eat them either on their own, mixed up with cereal, on toast, or my mothers favourite, as the filling for a sandwich. Whatever way you choose, they provide a breakfast with banana nutritional value.

3. Bananas Sliced in Cold Cereals

If you find the same old cereal a bit boring, bring it alive by adding some sliced up banana. In my eyes there is a huge difference between plain bran for breakfast and bran with sliced banana!

4. Banana Sauce over Cereal

Another simple way to enjoy banana for breakfast is to puree the banana. You may like to add a couple of ice cubes to keep it cool on a hot day, or maybe a couple of tablespoons of water, milk or cream. This can be poured over your cereal for a delicious healthy breakfast alternative.

5. Banana Smoothie

If you prefer a light breakfast drink, then a banana smoothie is the way to go. Milk is mixed together with mashed banana to create a healthy drink. My preference is to use non-fat milk as I find it mixes in the blender to a thicker mixture be warned though do not over mix or it becomes too thick. Add a few drops of vanilla to flavour.

6. Banana Porridge

For a tasty porridge incorporating banana, have a look at the orange and banana porridge recipe. It takes about ten minutes to prepare and will warm you up and fill you on a winter morning before you go about your daily tasks.

7. Banana Pancakes

There are a number of different ways to prepare banana pancakes, some cooking the bananas on top of the pancake while some include the banana in the pancake mix. The simplest way is often my favourite and we usually make the pancakes, slice the bananas on a long angle, add either whipped cream or a little sauce, say maple syrup and roll it up. Yum!!
