Below you can see how I turn my banana bread into an everyday balanced snack. There is nothing wrong with having it on its own (which i still do) but when I want a filling nutritious  snack I like to pair it with some protein yogurt or peanutbutter and berries.

Sugar free maple syrup also works in this recipe!
