Shake of the Day! Banana Cream Pie!
Banana Cream Pie!
Banana's in the house! I always love putting bananas in my shakes, and this shake is just so good. It's almost like your having a unhealthy desert, but it's actually HEALTHY! I love it!
Bananas are one of our best sources of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. Since the average banana contains a whopping 467 mg of potassium and only 1 mg of sodium, a banana a day may help to prevent high blood pressure and protect against atherosclerosis.
Bananas have long been recognized for their antacid effects that protect against stomach ulcers and ulcer damage.
Your mother may have told you carrots would keep your eyes bright as a child, but as an adult, it looks like fruit is even more important for keeping your sight.
