Banal, the banana? It costs almost nothing and is consumed every day all over the planet. However, it is when we cook it in the simplest way in the world that it has its most beautiful surprises in store for us.
Indeed, whether we puree it, freeze it or eat it as is, the banana helps to make our meals healthier. Moreover, it achieves this feat without taking anything away from the richness of our breakfasts, desserts and snacks.
“The banana is probably one of the most versatile fruits,” says nutritionist Hubert Cormier. You can eat it raw, but also use it in the preparation of a multitude of recipes: the classic banana bread, the nice cream [frozen dessert made from frozen bananas], the banana split, or even to make a base for preparing pancakes,” he lists.
Hubert’s tip: You can vary the ingredients of this recipe by changing the variety of nuts. Try with cashews or almonds.
