I woke up with a Jones for Peanut Butter and Bananas!  Imagine that!!!

My gut reaction to my Jones was to think,” steer away from PB and Bananas; way too many calories.”   But, at closer examination,  I realized that – when prepared and ingested in moderation – the mighty duo was more than okay.  In fact, PB&B is an Our Lady of Weight Loss approved combo!

Here, from the OLofWL Kitchens, are 3 of Our Lady of Weight Loss’s BEST PB and BANANA Recipes to be savored as a snack, for breakfast, for lunch …  heck, why not for dinner, too?!   Enjoy!!!
