FUN WAYS TO EAT BANANAS

Bananas are really nice fruits (I love them), sweet and quite filling. They make a great snack especially if you're watching your weight and have some amazing health benefits. Bananas contain a variety of vitamins and minerals including vitamin B6, protein, dietary fibre, vitamin C and others. They can help in reducing blood pressure, weight loss, maintaining a healthy heart and some other amazing stuff. Even the peels are useful add rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite can help stop the itching, and I don't need to say anything on how invaluable that is in a country like Nigeria where humans are basically a living feast for mosquitoes. So you should definitely include bananas in your daily meal plan, and if you get bored of the usual plain banana snack (eaten alone or in a fruit salad) or smoothie, here are some cool recipes you could try. N/B: To keep your bananas from getting ripe to soon, wrap the head of the bunch with a plastic wrap. BANANA "IC...

FOOD ADDICTIONS (FOODICTIONS😉)

I'm pretty sure everyone has that one food/snack/drink that they're addicted to, whether it's healthy or not. Mine is groundnuts/peanuts, yeah I'm weird like that. I like it boiled, roasted, fried (turned into "peanuts"); as long as it's groundnut I'm all for it. I was born with a hatred for soft/non-crunchy foods, and when I say I was born I mean from birth, so I hate basically all pastries (bread is the worst, hate that stuff with a passion, hate even the smell and don't even dare to touch it). So since I hate non-crunchy foods I obviously l😍ve crunchy foods like chips and groundnut, and to fuel that love, I was raised by a dad that loves groundnuts so much that he makes them himself.  Yeah, there's always a bottle of groundnuts at home (which doesn't last more than 2days), and even after I moved out of my parent's I still eat it daily. I'm so addicted to eating groundnuts that when my sister suggested I reduce my intake cos o...
