If you ever come into my kitchen you will see enough bananas to feed the entire St. Louis Zoo Primate House. However, you will also notice that they do not last more than a few days. Reason being that my roommate Angela and I easily consume a few a day. Literally.
Benefits of Bananas:
*it is a fun word to say (or sing "yes we have no bananas today!")
*they are yellow (but the green ones taste better!)
*if you squeeze them just right, they split into three even pieces (thank you Sarah, for showing me that in the 3rd grade)
*Bio degradable packaging
*Smash em into mushy stuff to make banana bread when they are too ripe- YUM.
*Super cheap. Like $.40 a lb. Dig that outta ya couch!
*TONS of Vitamin B6 (great for your blood and immune system, they also enhance your mood)
* Help PMS (the men in our lives are very grateful for this)
* High iron content (less anemia... less naps required!)
*INSTANT energy boost. Enough for a hard workout.
*good for your brain, eyes, kidneys, bones
I could continue, but I will stop there. Pretty much, I recommend that you eat bananas. And apparently Ang I and I have no excuses for being tired, in bad moods, or having poor vision...

hmm... maybe that's why my children have SO much energy. on average, they'll consume 10 lbs. of bananas in three days (between the three of them).
whenever i go to the grocery store I buy at least 15 lbs. cashiers often ask, "Baking something?" ME: no... my children are just little monkeys :)
I read that bananas acutally make you tired hhhmmm..... and they are very high in fat. kT
I'm going to go have a banana right now.
