Do you know what day tomorrow is?It’s National Banana Lover’s Day! Seeing as I haven’t done a theme post in almost two months, I figured this was the perfect occasion to showcase my love for the fruit oft referred to as “nature’s candy bar.” Got extra bananas on hand?

Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- yogurt of choice - I like nondairy coconut yogurt
- granola of choice OR Healthy Graham Crackers
- mini chocolate chips, coconut shreds, cinnamon sugar, etc.
- popsicle sticks or silverware to insert in the bananas
Instructions
Pour granola or crushed crackers into a very shallow dish or plate. Peel the bananas, cut them in half, and insert popsicle sticks. Dip into the yogurt or coat with a knife, then roll into the granola or cracker crumbs and add-ons. I stuck the chips on by hand after rolling in the granola. Place on a parchment or wax-lined tray. Freeze. Keep uneaten banana pops in the freezer.
Will you celebrate Banana Lover’s day?
Or are you one of those people who absolutely HATES bananas? It seems like a polarizing food: people either love bananas or hate them. For all of the banana haters out there, rest assured tomorrow’s recipe will have nothing to do with bananas. But it might include chocolate chips. You don’t have a problem with them, right? 😉

I can’t seem to go a day without eating bananas. I like to celebrate banana day everyday 🙂
I love love love bananas! They’re so versatile. I have a friend who used to be allergic to them. I felt so bad for her! At summer camp, she’d have to do apple boats instead of banana boats in the campfire.
Yum! I love bananas!!!
I have a question: did you ever decide a winner for the vitamix contest??

I love banana soft serve! So delicious!! I will definitely be making it today!
I love bananas, and I eat at least one every day! All of these recipes look so good! I can’t wait to try them. There are several that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I just seem to eat all of the bananas before they’re ripe enough to bake with. I guess I’ll have to hide a few from myself this time!
I hadn’t even known about this until I saw your email today — but the funny thing is, when I saw it, I had just gotten back from the grocery store where I had bought a few bananas in hopes of making chocolate-covered frozen bananas today….
I loooove bananas! I celebrated Banana Lover’s Day by making banana-nutella bread with lots of chocolate chips 🙂
How on earth have I missed the recipe for Microwave Banana Cake?!?!
My favorite way to eat bananas is eating dipped in peanut butter or frozen and pureed with almond milk for an after-dinner treat. Yummy. 🙂 And your recipes sound delish!
I didn’t even know it was banana lovers day and oddly enough i posted a banana recipe today! Everything looks out of this world!!
