Eating a healthy breakfast is one of the very best ways to stimulate your metabolism for an energetic, healthy day. If you want to amp up that effect, make sure to include bananas.

A staple starch in many tropical locales, bananas are an especially resistant starch, which means that they fill you up and keep you full for a particularly long time.

Vitamins and minerals are abundant in the banana, with especially high levels of vitamin A, a full range of B vitamins, thiamine, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Their high level of potassium, combined with an extremely low level of sodium, make an excellent food for people with high blood pressure—so much so that the United States Food and Drug Administration recently gave permission to the banana industry to make the official claim that bananas can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Bananas are also excellent for treating constipation, hangovers, and morning sickness.

Enjoy your Mojamix with our own, intensely-flavored dried banana chips or top your morning bowl with a fresh, sliced banana. Or to take your enjoyment one step further, broil banana slices sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon until they begin to brown and sizzle. Yum!
