17 Mar 31 Days of Global Flavors for National Nutrition Month: Day 17
It’s Day 17 of National Nutrition Month and today we are talking to Jinan Banna about her favorite global flavor and recipe.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is my number 1 favorite global flavor. I use it to make lentil soup and have also mixed it in with Okinawa sweet potatoes to make tasty mashed potatoes. In addition, I use it in baking and like to make coconut banana bread. Here is my recipe for Healthy banana coconut bread.
I love this recipe because it has no added sugar at all but still satisfies my sweet tooth. It’s also super nutritious, with plenty of vitamins and minerals from the banana, chia seeds, and other ingredients. It’s versatile as well in terms of when you eat it; I have had it for breakfast and sometimes as a dessert.
