Rating GoNanana’s Banana Bread Mix - Friday Food Talk
This
Friday, we’re diving into GoNanana’s Banana Bread Mix, a find from the Whole
Foods bakery aisle. As someone who recently transitioned to a whole plant-based
lifestyle, I’ve been searching for vegan-friendly options, and this mix
immediately caught my eye. Naturally, I had to try it and share the
results with you all.
Our Take on GoNanana’s Banana Bread
Mix
Using
our food rating system, we initially labeled this mix as a Red Dot food. Why? The sodium and carbohydrate levels
and calorie count per serving pushed it into this category—something not
surprising for a baking product. But don’t worry, we’ve got a solution! With a
few tweaks, you can quickly transform this into a Yellow Dot recipe,
balancing macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and protein) and boosting overall
nutritional value.
Check
out our GoNanana Banana Bread Makeover Recipe for a guilt-free, healthy
twist on this classic treat.
