If you think a loaf of banana bread packs too many calories, think again! This sweet bread mixes two of our favorite fruits — strawberries and bananas — into one delicious recipe that’s a little more nutritious than the classic, but still just as tasty. It’s perfect at breakfast or brunch, or as an after-school snack with the kids. The Greek yogurt makes this bread super moist while adding a bit of protein as well, which is always a bonus. We use fresh strawberries and ripe bananas for a sweeter bread without a lot of sugar. In about an hour our kitchen smells like heaven, and we have a tasty snack the whole family loves!
