Chiquita understands that being a mom may be the most challenging, yet rewarding job out there. This is why it’s important to take care of yourself and your family. Bananas contain 3 sources of natural sugar: glucose, fructose and sucrose as well as a significant amount of your daily fiber. According to Dr. Lisa Metzgar for Families Online Magazine, “two [Chiquita] bananas provide enough energy for an intense workout.” WOW! Additionally, bananas contain potassium, Vitamin B6 and complex carbohydrates. I love foods that pack such a nutritional punch!
Not sure what to do with your bananas? Try this yummy treat:
Quick Chiquita Chocolate Banana Pop Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 whole Chiquita Banana
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Crisp rice cereal or crushed nuts (optional)
- 2 whole Ice Pop Sticks
- 1 sheet Plastic Wrap
- 1 sheet Wax Paper
Instructions
Peel the banana, cut it in half width-wise and insert the sticks part way into each banana half. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for about an hour. Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them on half power, checking every 10 seconds so they don’t burn. Dip the bananas in the melted chocolate till they’re coated. Dip in rice cereal or crushed nuts, if you like. Place on wax paper and put in the freezer to set for at least one hour.
What a delicious way to get your kids to eat their bananas! Whether your starting your little one on solids or looking for a mid-day snack, Chiquita has you covered!
Win it: Five (5) winners will receive a Chiquita Mom Kit which includes the following:
- Chiquita Mom’s Flip Book
- Chiquita Banana Recipe Cards
- Chiquita Moms Grocery Tote Bag
- Chiquita Moms Freezer Bags
- A coupon for FREE Chiquita Bananas
You must leave a separate comment on this post for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries.
Winners will be selected at random. Winners will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on Thursday, January 27th at 8pm EST.

My 8 year old and myself are the banana lovers of our house.
Tiffany says
Right now I am 36 weeks pregnant and it seems like I can’t eat enough bananas. I am also competing the my 21 month old son as he seems to think that as soon as Mom gets a banana he gets one as well. Needless to say we have gone through a lot of bananas as of late.
Terra Heck says
We all like them in the household, but my teenage daughter likes them most. Thanks.

Thank for the opportunity! My 3 year old is a banana junky, we laugh that we have to take him to get his potassium levels checked because he likes 3 or 4 at a time and feels that they go with everything including pizza! Love the chocolate bananas, yum!
