Review: High Quality - Fast shipping.
Review: Blessing in disguise - I originally tried to order natural banana extract but it sold out while it was in my cart. So, I went with imitation. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I use real bananas in many things from pancakes to cookies and this is going to enhance the banana flavor in the best way. As soon as I opened the seal, the smell of banana shot into my nose. It’s not subtle like natural extract. It smell just like banana runts (those miniature fruit shaped candies I used to get from candy dispensers at the store). I used it in my banana pancakes, and I think they the high heat made the flavor evaporate a bit. However, when I used it for my toddler’s date balls that require no baking, and when I used it for a smoothie, it tasted great. Ultimately, it think that if you’re going to heat it, it’s best to use it as a flavor enhancer to things that already have banana. As for the things that don’t need heating, it works much better than the natural stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it in spite of some mixed reviews I read
*by L***A on June 25, 2020*

I have to eat low carb for health reasons. I workout twice a day but am still very overweight so loading up on carbs is not an option. I practice a cyclical low carb diet with 5 days on, two days off but that doesn't mean I go eat a gallon of ice cream on my off days. One thing I miss and crave is the Sonic Banana milkshake. So with this extract, I make a more "grown up" morning smoothie consisting of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, green tea matcha powder, vanilla extract, banana extract, a scoop of low carb vanilla meal replacement powder like Orgain, Purely Inspired, or even Slim Fast Diabetic, and a small splash of a sugar free vanilla creamer, and ice in a powerful blender like NutribulletRX. You can even add a little bit of monk fruit or stevia extract for a touch more sweetness before blending. Anyway, I love it. It tastes more like an indulgent dessert than an ordinary breakfast smoothie and is one of my favorite post workout meals on hot days. I read both negative and positive reviews before buying. Some said the flavor was watered down and you had to use a lot. Others said the flavor was off, and artificial. To me, the flavor is good and I am using a teaspoon for a 12 to 16 oz smoothie. I don't measure how much ice I add so my smoothie size varies. I just know that I have made at least five or six smoothies with the banana extract and it still looks practically full.
