When it comes to cooking with bananas, one of my favorite things to make is banana bread. Why? Making the bread is fast and easy and the health benefits of consuming bananas are numerous.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Health Benefits: Bananas are good for you because they are high in potassium and low in sodium, making them the ideal healthy fruit. They are great for reducing depression, achieving bone and intestinal health and for regulating high blood pressure.

Here are 3 of my favorite recipes.
