How to pick the best bananas

Avoid the slightly green unripe bananas, they tend to have a high starch content, which makes them harder to digest. Choose the bananas with brown freckles on skin, this is a good indication that they are completely ripe.  Refrigerate or freeze if you are not going to eat them immediately.

Not in the mood for muffins? How about Waffles!

Add 3 tablespoons of oil and ½ cup of Almond milk, or until desired consistency, and turn those muffins into waffles.

Try to find “Aluminum Free” baking powder, use Real Sea Salt and try to use yard eggs for a healthier outcome.

* Quinoa is gluten-free flour.
