2 bananas, ripe, mashed
1/2 cup canola oil like crisco
2 large eggs
2 tbsp frozen orange/pineapp. conc.
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp orange peel
1 cooking spray

large egg white plus 6 tbsp. egg substitute, 1/8 tsp almond extract,
orange juice concentrate, 2 cups unbleached flour and no orange peel.
Original nutritional info. 1/18 recipe = 1 bread, 1 fat Joslin
Exchanges 122 calories, 2 grams protein, 14 grams carbohydrate, 6
grams fat (44% of calories), trace cholesterol, 61 mg sodium, 105 mg
potassium.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with waxed paper
and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine bananas, oil, beaten egg, juice concentrate
and orange peel. Stir dry ingredients together and then stir them
into banana mixture until just blended.
Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the top
is lightly browned. Cool in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a
wire rack. Slice the first sample while the loaf is still warm.
Comment in the original recipe states that the well-wrapped loaf
keeps in the refrigerator and freezes well. Slice is smaller than a
slice of regular bread (about half size).
Tested with changes noted by Elizabeth Rodier, Jan 1994. To cut down
on cholesterol use 1 whole egg and 2 whites, or home made egg
substitute.
When comparing bread recipes, consider serving size as well as
calories. Does the serving taste good alone or would I add 1 tsp
margarine (1 fat)?
1 tb peanut butter would add 1 fat exchange + 1 meat or 95 calories, 3
grams carb. 4 grams protein, 8.2 grams fat, 98 mg sodium
1 tb regular strawberry jam made of equal parts fruit and sugar would
add 54 calories, 14 grams carbohydrate or 1 fruit exchange

Diet informationThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Dr. arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented this diet for people who have heart disease, based on his analysis of scientific studies completed on other diets. Good foods include, broiled ham, skinless poultry, clams, mozzarella cheese, almonds, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as lentils, cauliflower and snow peas. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is based around the gi index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity that the energy of the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and help you to cut down on food without feeling you are missing out. It's also very useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are helpful in reducing increases in glucose levels. |
