How to Make Healthy Banana Bread

Bananas have been given a bad rep because of their sugar content, but this fruit has much more to offer than just glucose.

They are packed with potassium, are made up of 75% water, and also contain fiber and protein!


All around this fruit is a great staple, especially if you're guilty of having an insatiable sweet tooth.


Another food that people tend to shy away from when dieting is bread. That's why we combined the two in this healthy banana bread recipe.


Best of all there is no added sugar, butter or oil, so you can take care of two cravings without feeling guilty about it later!
