I have always loved bananas and my boys do to.
It is the perfect first food.
- I used to mash it up in a bowl with a fork and a little water or breastmilk.
- Then as they got bigger I didnt’ even need a spoon I would just peel and spoon out little chunks.
- Then as they got bigger I would cut pieces and put them on their high chair tray.
- Now Thing 3 likes to either “eat it like a monkey” or practice using his knife and fork while he cuts and eats chunks of bananas.
I got a Chiquita Mom package in the mail this week.
There were some fun recipes in there and a great booklet. I learned some cool things about bananas. Like, When is the perfect time to eat a banana? I loved the tips on freezing bananas and in the package I got some special freezer bags for this.

A smoothie is not a smoothie without a banana. I love them in smoothies. We also love bringing bananas with us on bike rides! A great quick energy food!
I love that bananas are portable and that it’s super easy to tell when they’re ripe.
I discovered a way to sweeten my oatmeal without adding sugar or sweeteners – half a banana, mashed, and the other half chopped into pieces. I stir the mash and the pieces into my oatmeal with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and add slivered almonds. Voila! “Banana-nut” oatmeal!
We love bananas because they are delicious and CHEAP- only 49 cents a pound at our grocery store! My son eats one every morning with his breakfast.
Great giveaway! I love to make smoothies with bananas! Yum.

Is it too late for me to be #5? I love that a banana is filling and gives you energy. If you’re in a hurry and need something healthy and filling, a banana is perfect.
