Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are bananas too high in sugar for seniors?
A: While bananas do contain natural sugars, they also have a good amount of fiber, which slows down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream. For most people, a banana a day is perfectly healthy. However, if you are strictly monitoring your blood sugar or have diabetes, just be mindful of your portion sizes and perhaps pair your banana with a protein, like a handful of nuts.
Q: Can I use green bananas for this recipe?
A: I highly recommend using ripe, spotty bananas for this dip. Green bananas are starchy and lack the natural sweetness and soft texture you need to blend smoothly into the cream cheese.
Q: How long will the leftover dip last?
A: Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The bananas might darken slightly on the very top, but it will still taste delicious! Just give it a gentle stir before serving again.
