Why bananas?

Breakfast – it’s the best meal of the day, isn’t it? Starting your morning the right way is important and getting a boost from healthy breakfast foods will help you to succeed with the rest of your healthy lifestyle. Tasty, high quality Chiquita bananas are a great choice when you’re looking for a healthy breakfast to replace the usual boring options – and there are so many fantastic ways to incorporate a banana breakfast! Below, we’ll look at some great, healthy breakfast ideas that you can try to start on your banana breakfast journey.

The most important question is, why do you need a deliciously tasty, high quality Chiquita banana to balance your breakfast? You’ll understand the minute you prepare one of our recipes – bananas add a luxuriously rich texture to any recipe, giving a creamy, delightfully smooth mouth feel that (we believe) no other fruit quite matches.

A well-balanced and nutritious and healthy breakfast gives your body the jump start it needs for a busy day, giving you that burst of energy you need to get you out of the door. Chiquita bananas deliver the best taste, and they’re a very handy snack in their own lovely yellow carry case if your alarm went to sleep and you’re in a rush – perfect to eat out of the hand. It’s the taste that never disappoints!

Healthy habits, here we come!

Nowadays, we’re all looking for ways to get fitter and healthier, and a Chiquita banana within your balanced breakfast routine is an easy win on the road to wellness. Bananas, particularly when they’re a little under-ripe, contain a good helping of pectin, a soluble fiber, and resistant starch, as well as generous amounts of several important vitamins and minerals. This is all very good news because balanced breakfasts are very special. They’re a great, family-friendly way to ensure everyone gets all the fruit and veg they need – which can sometimes be a challenge!

Vitamins and minerals

Bananas are famously rich in potassium, one of the key minerals in the body, which helps to regulate fluid balance and muscle contractions and send nerve signals. Bananas are a particularly great source of vitamins C and B6. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant, which people take to strengthen their body’s natural defences, and vitamin B6 helps to keep your digestive system working properly as well as having a role in maintaining memory function. All in all, bananas are a great addition to any healthy breakfast recipe!

Spark up your morning routine

Quality time doesn’t necessarily mean going on special outings or holidays. Actually, sometimes the most special moments are short spurts of bonding during the day.

Go on, turn healthy breakfasts into quality family time with some of Chiquita’s favorite family morning rituals.
