MmMmMmMmmm how I LOVE BANANA BREAD!  I doubled this recipe and made 2 loaves; one with basic bananas, and the other I added walnuts and raisins.  Both are made with all natural, organic, almond flour so they are gluten free and Paleo friendly.  Additionaly, my high protein banana bread packs 15g of protein per slice! WOAH!  This recipe is incredibly easy and delicious.  Simple and sweet!  Great for breakfast, as a snack, pre-workout, post-workout, with dinner or as dessert!  You really can't go wrong :)  Enjoy my friends!

Coconuts have been around for hundreds of years, but now all the new hype is revolved around virgin coconut oil! In the past coconut oil has been regarded as being bad, due to the saturated fat content. However, virgin coconut oil is not the same type of oil as saturated hydrogenated oil that goes through processing and is added to foods for an extended shelf life.

During World War II, it has been said the coconut water was used as an IV for wounded soldiers (1).
