Banana Guard Review

by

Do you pack a lunch or maybe pack lunches for your kids? I bet even if you don’t, you have experienced a “bruised” or “damaged” banana or other fruit that you really wanted to eat. I HATE when that happens. For me, I like my fruit to look appealing when I eat it, not something that looks like its been sat or stepped on. I am sure many of you could care less about what it looks like, I guess you can call me picky.

Well thanks to the  nice folks at Banana Guard, I can now be banana bruise worry free!

This Banana Guard allows you to enjoy bananas without worrying about them getting smashed. The Banana Guard fits over 90% of commercially grown bananas. If you have a highly curved banana, it can be straightened slightly to fit unto the upper curve of the banana. If you have a straight banana, it can be bent slightly to fit into the guard as well. I think this gadget is AWESOME because I am picky about my bananas and like them at least “almost” perfect. The only thing a smashed banana is good for is Banana Nut Bread!

On the Banana Guard website, you can also buy guards to protect your other fruit and even sandwiches. Don’t let your precious fruit go unprotected.

Used for larger fruits like apples and oranges. Used for smaller fruits like plums and nectarines. Used to protect sandwiches

I received all 4 of these wonderful products to review. I can now protect my sandwich and whatever fruit I want to bring. I would like to use these in my kid’s lunch, but I am afraid they won’t return back home. Each of these products come in a variety of colors too! You can buy the Banana Guard, Froot and Swich Guards at: https://www.bananaguard.com

    These products are really neat and just what I was looking for. My daughter just started school and I want to pack a banana but she won’t eat it if there is even ONE thing wrong with it. Problem solved with the Banana Guard! I also really like the Melaboo Batter Bowl set. I hate pancake and waffle batter dripping on the counter tops and we really like our pancakes and waffles! With this bowl set that problem is solved too.

    “All our products are made of FDA approved recyclable plastic, BPA-FREE and made in Canada where they pass through the highest quality assurance testing.”
    I would guess that a product like this would have knock-offs out there, like the site said.

    Really neat prodcut. I have packed lunches for several years now.

  12. DANIELLE WALDO says

    I learned they are running a special right now Buy any 5 Guards and get a free Froot Case and that there is a sturdy locking mechanism to keep the Banana Guard closed

    I learned that the “active hinges” are a special kind of plastic and should be good for many, many uses.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    THey have products made of recyclable plastic, and are BPA free! Funny, two years ago didn’t know about that, now, it jumps out at me everywhere!

    I learned that their products are BPA free, which is something parents look for, since we call care about the quality of our children’s food… it’s not just you. I have 4 kids and 3 of them eat lunch at school ( the other is a baby)…something like this would be awesome to protect their food.

    I love that the hinges are specially designed (something about their molecules) so that they will last through repeated uses.

  50. Tesa S. says

    I learned that having a reusable coffee tumbler helps to keep thousands of styro-foam and coated paper cups from entering the landfills. Hmm

    I learned they they are friendly to the environment and BPA free. We have been on a mission cutting out canned food and processed plastic around my house. This would help send the message home.

  60. Lucy Schwartz says

    I learned that the sandwich guard has a special hinge so that you do not lose the pieces and have half a guard.

  67. Happi Shopr says
