"Before I eat cereal for breakfast, I infuse the milk with fruit: Put some banana slices and berries in a small pitcher and sprinkle with sugar, then cover with milk and refrigerate overnight. It makes the milk slightly thicker, and it tastes so much better!" — Sunny Anderson

"When I was growing up, we would eat banana sandwiches. A lot of people eat banana sandwiches, but not the way my mom made them: white bread, mayonnaise and bananas — that's it!" — Jamie Deen

"There's nothing better than a smoothie. I blend 2 bananas, 2 cups each blueberries and strawberries, 2 cups frozen yogurt, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup ice and my secret weapon: some fresh mint! It brings another level of freshness and flavor." — Robert Irvine

"For my li'l man, Lorenzo, we cut a banana on the bias and serve it with Nutella. Do this right before bath time, otherwise you'll find Nutella in the most insane places: hair, banisters, ceiling fans." — Jeff Mauro

"I make 3-ingredient pancakes all the time: Mash 1 banana; mix with 1 tablespoon peanut butter and 1 beaten egg. Spray a hot nonstick pan with cooking spray; add tablespoonfuls of the mixture and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side. Top with banana slices." — Kelsey Nixon
