Broiled Bananas

The health benefits that you get from bananas are significant.  Some of the note worthy benefits include: enhanced brain power and focus, increased energy, and improved mood and happiness.  Since the benefits are high, the cost is low, and the flavor is amazing, I'm always stocking up on bananas to add to my oats, smoothies, or snacks.

My favorite way to enjoy bananas is to broil them so the natural sugars are released and they become soft.  I usually have this as a dessert, but it would also make the perfect breakfast option to your oatmeal or layered with Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon.
