Have you tried dried or dehydrated bananas? If you have not, then you should try it, they are so good. Just slice them and put it on the dehydrator setting in your oven if you have it. Or just put it on the lowest temperature that your oven offers. My oven has the lowest setting at 170 deg F, it is technically not raw if you dehydrate at that temperature, but I am not bound by any contract that I will only eat raw, so I am okay :-)) If you have a dehydrator, well that is the best. Now if you don't want to go the long route, there is this great brand of products that Costco has started selling. 'Made in Nature' dried fruits are organic, non-GMO verified and with no added sugar or other preservatives, just simple, plain dried fruits. Bananas are the latest that we have started enjoying from them. You can grab a few slices and enjoy them just like that. Add them to your breakfast porridges, homemade granolas, or use them to make energy bites like these.
