Banana with Sesame at Breakfast
A ripe banana with a spoon of roasted sesame is an easy breakfast plate. It fills a quiet morning when appetite is low. It does not treat period problems.
Banana and roasted sesame for breakfast
When morning hunger is low, a banana and a spoon of sesame are easier than a heavy cooked meal. Sesame adds richness and the fruit adds softness. Together they are breakfast, not a formula for hormones.
Choose a ripe banana if your stomach is sensitive. Roast the sesame so it crunches. People with diabetes should count the fruit inside their usual meal plan, and anyone with a sesame allergy should leave the seeds out.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
- A few extra sesame seeds only if you want more crunch on that same banana
