Doesn't this zinnia look like he has bananas on his head? Bananas are the best fruit...you can eat them with every meal of the day:

- a banana sliced in your morning cereal

- a fried peanut butter & banana sandwich for lunch (just like Elvis!)

- a banana for a mid-day snack

- a banana split for dinner

Totally nutritious, all-fruit meal plan! I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a "raw food" diet, too.

Happy Pretty Pink Tuesday! (#2 of 2)

Yes, I'm drinking banana daiquiris all day long
