Bananas are a staple in many diets, due to their yearlong availability and consistent taste—it’s one of the main reasons we love incorporating them into our meals and snacks! What better way to celebrate this delicious fruit than by exploring a variety of tasty and creative banana recipes
It goes without saying that walnuts and bananas are a traditional combo, and for good reason. These two ingredients have complementary textures and a classic partnership of flavors, bringing both nostalgic and modern tastes together. And the best part: They are ingredients that can add beneficial nutrients to your favorite dishes. In fact, a single ounce of walnuts boasts vital nutrients for optimal health, including 2.5 grams of the essential omega-3 ALA (the highest ALA content among all tree nuts), 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and 10% of the recommended daily value of magnesium.
