The origins of Banana Day are murky, but we don't care...we're celebrating the fruit that we can't imagine living without. Whether you grab one as a snack on the go or throw it into a blender for a healthy take on pancakes, the banana is an all rounder.
Here are some of our favourite things to do with bananas.
1. Freezing Them And Decorating Them With Tasty Things
Munch on something delicious AND nutritious with a frozen banana. Choose from flavours like yoghurt granola, chocolate peanut butter, white chocolate rainbow...the options are endless!
2. Making Delish Banana Milkshakes
Again, you don't need to feel too guilty about polishing off a milkshake because it's fruit based! Yay! What's more, you can use bananas that are slightly blackened. Ideal.
Top tip: banana milkshakes are an epic hangover cure.*

3. Whipping Up Flourless, Peanut Butter, Oat and Banana Pancakes
The title says it all. DIVINE...and relatively healthy!
4. Making A Childhood Classic: Banana Split
We're talking whipped cream, strawberry ice-cream, chocolate ice-cream, nuts, chocolate sauce...the works.
Why don't we have these anymore?
5. The Glorious Dessert That Is Banoffee
This recipe is an easy, no bake one too.
Top tip: substitute regualr digestives for Hob Nobs. Makes all the delicious difference.
Happy Banana Day one and all!
