Rating GoNanana’s Banana Bread Mix

This Friday, we’re diving into GoNanana’s Banana Bread Mix, a find from the Whole Foods bakery aisle. As someone who recently transitioned to a whole plant-based lifestyle, I’ve been searching for vegan-friendly options, and this mix immediately caught my eye. Naturally, I had to try it and share the results with you all.

Our Take on GoNanana’s Banana Bread Mix

Using our food rating system, we initially labeled this mix as a Red Dot food. Why? The sodium and carbohydrate levels and calorie count per serving pushed it into this category—something not surprising for a baking product. But don’t worry, we’ve got a solution! With a few tweaks, you can quickly transform this into a Yellow Dot recipe, balancing macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and protein) and boosting overall nutritional value.
