A hot favorite, this banana and honey combo is a good option for a light breakfast or snack. It contains carbohydrates, potassium and phosphorus.

For people like me who don’t eat a whole lot of carbs at one time …. you can opt to only put 1 banana in. Although soy milk can be healthy; too much can be a bad thing. You can substitute the soy for real low fat milk or hemp milk (which is even better!).
