Since coming to college in August, one of my main go-to foods for any time of the day has been bananas. They’re great because they last for a longer period of time than other fruits like berries; they’re healthy with a great source of potassium which helps with anxiety and stress; and best of all, they are inexpensive, and you can even find them at the dining hall! Because bananas are so versatile and taste good with just about anything (especially peanut butter), here are some cheap and tasty recipes any college student can make:
Skinny Banana Bread
For any banana bread lovers out there, this low calorie version from Tastes Better From Scratch is definitely the way to go. To make it more filling, serve a slice alongside some fruit like apples and blackberries. It definitely won’t disappoint!

Chocolate Banana Coconut Poppers
For an easy sweet treat, slice up one banana into chunks (should make about four or five per banana) and dip half of the chunk into melted dark chocolate. For an extra touch, sprinkle on some coconut and drizzle peanut butter or cookie butter from Trader Joe’s!
Peanut Butter, Banana, and Granola Bites
For a filling, five-minute breakfast, spread peanut butter onto banana slices and then sprinkle on some granola for a crunchy topping! 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
Happy Snacking!
