Buying bananas in huge bunches is pretty much par for the course nowadays. Because bananas are so inexpensive, people buy a lot of them at once.
Plus, bananas are so good for you! They’re high in fiber and a variety of other healthy nutrients, including magnesium and potassium.
Bananas are truly incredible fruits — they’re portable, nutritious, and filling, which is more than I can say for lots of other fruits.
When you want to bring a healthy snack in your bag, you’re not going to grab, say, strawberries or peaches. You’ll pick a banana. It’s mess-free and has its own tough wrapper.
Because we all buy them in big bunches, though, the inevitable problem is that we sometimes end up with more bananas than we’re going to eat.
Instead of just waiting for them to get brown and turning them into banana bread, try this amazing banana tea!
Not only is it yummy, the potassium and magnesium are also said to make you sleepy, which makes this a perfect bedtime drink.
