Bananas and coconuts. Fruits of the gods. Edible orgasms of mortals.

What's in this post

The Banana

The Banana.  Mix this puppy with coconut, and it’s over.  Sweet creaminess, with a summertime, tropical flair.  Chock full of nutrients and oils.  I’ve often said that the banana and the coconut are all I need to survive.

In need a quick, cold, sweet eat?  Open a can of coconut milk (hopefully, it already be chillin’ in the fridge) and commence pouring over sliced bananas (which I also enjoy chilled).  Add grated nutmeg (the QUEEN of all spices, in my opinion!), coconut flakes, and maybe a drizzle of agave or maple syrup…Zeus!  Strike me with your pleasure-bolt!

Coconut Cream

Sweet, Creamy Coconut Milk slathered over sliced bananas and topped with freshly grated nutmeg

If yet, more decadence is in order, try some sliced, ripe avocado.  Power-packed and nutrient rich tasty fats and oils!  (I’ve sprinkled some hemp seeds on this particular serving.)

And, if you’re like me, and can’t help for going overboard once in a while, FRY that banana!  In fact, a previous affair with another fried banana variety was had- and lavishly enjoyed.

Banana Fried

FRY that banana then top it with toasted coconut, coconut milk and fresh nutmeg

Toasted banana and toasted coconut flakes, adorned with sliced almonds and freshly grated nutmeg, doused in coconut milk, and drizzled with agave.  I’m going to hades for this decadence.

Just a few tips on making these banana/coconut delights.  Coconut milk in the can is far creamier than that packaged in a carton.  When toasting your banana, a dab of oil in a non-stick skillet is far less hassle than using a lot of oil in a regular skillet.  And, when I say freshly grated nutmeg, I mean freshly grated nutmeg- get the nutmeg “nuggets,” not the pre-packed powdered stuff.

Bananas and coconuts.  Fruits of the gods.  Edible orgasms of mortals.

And, vegan, of course.
