1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Chia seeds, hemp seeds, or chopped nuts for topping (optional)

Notes
Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Try rice cakes or English muffins instead of toast.
Top with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
Mix cocoa powder into the banana for a chocolate twist.
Add Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
Prep the banana ahead and store in the fridge for up to 1 day.
