- 1 banana
- 4 peaches
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- Peel and slice your banana.

- Place your fruit slices and unsweetened applesauce in your food processor, add cinnamon and nutmeg, then puree.
- Pour your fruit puree from your food processor into a large bowl and add your cola.
- Stir gently until mixed well.
- If you want it sweeter, stir in a teaspoon or two of Splenda.
- Trim excess fat from your pork loin, place in a plastic storage bag, add your fruit mixture, and refrigerate overnite or for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to cook, spray a non-stick pan with fat-free canola flavored cooking spray, line with tin foil (to protect your pan), and insert a drip rack inside the pan on top of the tin foil.
- Lightly spray the rack and the interior tin foil with cooking spray.
- Place your pork loin on the rack, pour the marinade over it, sprinkle with fresh ground pepper (if desired), and cook at 350 for about 40 minutes.
- Pork is cooked when internal temperature reaches 170.
