~Bananas & OJ~

Hello I decided I'd give you a really fun treat to get us kicked off. This is a dessert that I learned while working as a dietary aide in a kitchen. It is so quick and easy and can be served right away or let to sit for more flavor!

Ingredients:

  • Bananas
  • Orange Juice
Alright so first off remember the way you like your bananas is how you should buy them. This is a chilled snack so they'll stay good no matter how ripe they are, for the most part. Alright now for the steps!

  1. Peel the bananas.
  2. Slice the bananas the round way so you get a whole bunch of little fruity coins piled up on your counter. (the thickness of the coin is completely at your discretion.)
  3. Take the orange juice and pour it into a bowl. (make sure the OJ hasn't been sitting out. we don't want warm OJ)
  4. Scoop the chopped bananas into the bowl of OJ and gently mix making sure the banana coins are all soaking well in the OJ.
  5. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. 
Step five is optional, but a little note on it for you. The longer the bananas soak in the OJ the better the flavors mix together. 

FUN SUGGESTION!!!: When you serve up, small serving bowls or cups are great! That way you can dish up the juice as well and everyone have a fun drink to go along with the rest of the treat!

Who will like this: 
  • Children: Kids love fun snacks like this. Its a great twist on something that's great for them, and it's a nice cool treat in the summer in place of ice cream and soda.
  • Elderly: The elderly who may have a more difficult time chewing harder foods especially may like this. It's a nice soft dessert for them that isn't too cold for any sensitive teeth or mouths.
  • Just about anyone will enjoy this treat no matter that age. You can even put then in fancy little serving dishes and serve them to a dinner party, perhaps as an appetizer?
Thanks for reading!
