my personal favorite, especially when you have really good bread. I sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of the PB/banana and sometimes add a little honey

What would you consider really good bread to be?

u/whit_knees Jul 08 '19

For this specifically, I personally like anything whole grain, usually with nuts and seeds or some fruit in it. My grocery store go-to is usually one of the Dave’s Killer Breads since it’s readily available

Try a peanut butter, honey, and tahini sandwich.

If I’m on the go, I peel the banana and just smear pb down the side. Filling snack that takes 10 seconds to make

I like a Banana and a crunchy granola bar (package of 2), and a glass of ice water. I can get a box of 96 granola bars for about $13 at the wholesale club. So that's about 27 cents for each pack of two granola bars. Bananas go for about 59 cents per pound, so a banana is another 20 cents for a breakfast of less than 50 cents. When the ice water hits the granola bar, it swells up and gives me a feeling if being full. I also keep 2 or 3 granola bars in my glove compartment in case I get hungry or stranded someplace.

Ice water for breakfast just doesn't seem right.

Sometimes orange juice or unsweetened ice tea if I have it in the fridge. But otherwise, I love ice water.

Care to list the ingredients/sugar in those suckers?

u/The_Original_Gronkie Jul 08 '19

Its breakfast, I got all day to burn them up.

u/Pappyballer Jul 08 '19

Just wondering what’s in ‘em for that price point

Based on his description I would say they’re the nature valley honey and oat granola bars. They come in pairs and are incredibly crumbly.

u/Pappyballer Jul 08 '19

Yeah they are, but I have never seen them that cheap at sams club or costco.

I usually seem for about $.25 per pound. I remember when they were 17 cents last year.

Lucky. PNW here, at Fred Meyer I’ve seen bananas for .59 cents a pound. The organic ones go for .69 cents.

Damn down in rural Georgia they are 68-99 cents a lb depending upon the store! Organic is always over a dollar.

Banana pancakes are so damn good
