Mom Tip #3: Getting kids to eat/finish Bananas
Problem: After a bite or two, a child has decided that (s)he no longer wants to eat a banana. 
Solution: Chocolate Syrup.
Most of the time that my kids ask for a banana, they eat it with no problems, but on occasion they’ll decide they don’t want to finish a banana. I found that if I cut it up into slices and pour a little chocolate syrup on top they’ll eat the rest of the banana and ask for more. While this isn’t the healthiest snack, it could be considered a slightly healthier bribe alternative or dessert. You do run the risk of having the child think (s)he needs chocolate syrup on every banana, but somehow I’ve avoided that. I think I told them that it’s a special treat.
I’ve also added left over whipped cream instead of chocolate for a banana treat.
Love it! Gotta try it!
My aunt recently told me about banana dogs, You use a wholegrain hot dog bun, stick in a banana and put a layer of peanut butter on top. Some people thought it sounded disgusting, but I love the idea & can’t wait to use it on my food testers. ;)
BTW, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. I miss grandma & have so appreciated your vivid memory of her. You’re a doll!
