Get Healthy in the New Year (Giveaway!)

Baby C is a picky toddler, but he loves his bananas. He eats one each day, usually in the late afternoon. Sometimes we share one. Even hubby eats bananas (umm.... it might be the only fruit or veggie he sees all day, but he eats one for breakfast on the train to work). So in the BTG house, we always have a bunch up on the counter (and I'm constantly running to the deli next door to buy them). So when Chiquita contacted me about becoming a Chiquita Mom, I knew I was perfect for the job!

As a Chiquita Mom, I was sent a package of banana related goodies. Information about bananas, recipe cards, a reusable grocery bag, some freezer bags (thats right, you can freeze your ripe bananas for up to a month for baking and up to two months to use in smoothies... who knew?), and they also sent me some coupons for free bananas.

I loved reading through the little book of information they sent me. I mean, I know bananas are a fruit, and fruit is healthy (and I knew bananas were high in potassium) but I had no idea all the vitamins bananas contained (A, C, E and K in case you were wondering). I also didn't know that you could freeze bananas when they are ripe I hate throwing them away and being wasteful! Also, when they are ripe, you can store them in the refrigerator (only when they are ripe). The peels may turn brown, but the insides will stay yellow. And of course bananas come in their own biodegradable packaging, which is part of why moms on the go love them so much!

Love bananas? Not sure you do and want to try them again? And remember, a banana is a perfect first solid food for an infant just starting out... mash to desired consistency and thicken as your child gets older. You can read more about bananas and grab some recipes from the Chiquita Mom website. Or you can enter to win a Chiquita Mom kit (complete with all of the above mentioned items).
