For the Kids: Babbling Beetles Over Bananas!




So here's a little something from The Two Vegan Ladies for our younger followers. It's a great breakfast or snack and it's really quick and easy to make. This is something you parents out there can certainly have fun making with your kids. And it's good for them!


Babbling Beetles Over Bananas!


Don't worry, no adorable insects were harmed in the making of this dish! We call them babbling beetles because when you add all the ingredients together you're going to hear something magical!


What you'll need:
One Banana
1/4 Cup Whole Raw Almonds
1/2 Teaspoon of Brown Sugar


First, grab a square of aluminum foil and spread your raw almonds out evenly on it.


Then, stick your aluminum sheet in the toaster oven (or conventional oven) and toast for about 5-7 minutes. If you're using a conventional oven preheat to 375ยบ first and try 8-10 minutes.




Now, while your almonds are getting nice and toasty peel your banana.

Did you know humans are the only animal who open their bananas from the top stem? All other animals pinch either side of the bottom portion and pull the peel apart! Give it a try!




Next, cut or break your banana into medium size pieces and set them in the bottom of a cereal sized bowl.


Are your almonds ready? Don't they smell delicious?



Carefully remove your toasted almonds from your oven or toaster oven and slide them in your bowl on top of your banana pieces.



Now for the last step sprinkle your brown sugar on top, and listen! Do you hear the beetles talking and scurrying around with the bananas? Magic!


With peace, love, and compassion-
The Two Vegan Ladies
