Banana Guard

I try to be healthy (sometimes!) and like to have snacks in my bag that I can eat on the go and the banana guard is ideal for allowing me to throw something in my bag and know that when I want it in a day or twos time that it's still going to be in one piece and not all broken, mushy & disgusting. The banana guard is a piece of yellow plastic which can be opened up, a banana placed inside, and then clipped closed and then tossed in to my handbag or rucksack. The plastic is of course banana shaped so that my fruit fits inside well and there are small holes in the plastic which allows the air to circulate and prevents the banana from getting too hot. I have ...  Read the complete review

In this day and age when it seems that when you are hungry, the easiest thing to go for is a chocolate bar or bag of crisps, you can really thank an invention like banana guard. I first saw these in a lakeland catologue and thought it was the best thing ever. Sometimes I eat up to three bananas a day, just because I love them. ( I know it's probably not good for my health but hey it's better than eating malteasers... right?) I dropped a few hints around my boyfriend who knows I am a really banana fan, and low and behold on my birthday I had a banana shaped gift waiting for me. The sweet guy that he is, he had wrapped it with a banana in and said ...  Read the complete review

I was given a Banana Guard for Christmas by a well meaning friend who knows I like to take a banana out with me as I find them excellent for keeping my energy up when I start to flag. I thanked Sheila profusely, but at the back of my mind was a niggling voice that said "what a silly idea, I'd much rather have had a Lush bath bomb instead". Not meaning to sound ungrateful, of course. I have found it to be brilliant however and am planning to buy my granddaughters' one each as they take a banana to school most days for their tuck. The Banana Guard is basically a banana shaped tube which opens along the middle and closes securely ...  Read the complete review

The banana guard is a plastic ventilated case for transportation of bananas. Almost anyone could use one I think, as if you eat out of the house, bananas are convenient and healthy food to take (needing little preparation and leaving little mess. However, in the past I'd found bananas went black very, very quickly in a backpack. If I was cycling to work, it'd be blackening after the 1 hour ride in and have nasty squidgy patches. In a sealed plastic container, they blacken quicker due to lack of air, and without it they crush easily. The banana guard solves both these problems, it protects it from crushes while still allowing a flow of air. It has a cleverly shaped ...  Read the complete review

This product is designed to prevent your banana getting battered and bruised in transit, which would make it ideal a public transport commuter or bike rider like me. The guard itself is made of polypropylene plastic with 4 rows of small holes along the entire length. This is so that your banana can 'breathe' thereby preventing it from early ripening. There is a very sturdy locking mechanism (a catch on either end, and one in the middle to hinge it closed) that prevents it from opening whilst in transit. It mainly comes in yellow (it is for a banana after all) but a variety of colours can be found such as purple, green, blue and glow in the dark! ...  Read the complete review
