Banana bread gets a fresh boost from shredded coconut

This banana bread is made with whole-wheat and all-purpose flour, which adds a pleasant heft to the loaf, along with shredded coconut for freshness. (Lynda Balslev/TasteFood)

Are you in the mood for a prepackaged healthy snack? Or how about a slice of quick bread to accompany your morning cup of coffee? Look no further than the ubiquitous banana.

Bananas are naturally sweet and nutritious, high in fiber, rich in potassium, magnesium, and B and C vitamins. Best of all, bananas come all zipped up in their own skin, which makes them easily transportable — perfect for a lunchbox, a workout recharge and a bite on the go.
