Strawberry Banana Panini Recipe

Strawberry Banana Panini Recipe 2

This is a fresh fruit panini that is just delightful for breakfast or lunch! It’s just made with fresh sliced strawberries and banana, Greek yogurt, a little honey and a dash of cinnamon. But watch out! It’s all in the ingredients you choose: I use wholegrain bread that is high in fiber, low in salt, low in sugar, and has no partially hydrogenated oils (it even has lentils, and you know how I feel about those!)-here is one I like, and another one I recommend as well, but feel free to use whichever one you prefer, as long as it is 100% wholegrain-fat-free Greek plain yogurt, and a little drizzle of natural honey (it doesn’t need more than that!).  It’s so easy to make if you have a small panini maker ready to go, and so YUMMY!

Ingredients

2 slices wholegrain bread*
