Frozen Banana Bites



The weekend is here and it is going to be HOT. Why not prepare yourself a frozen treat?! 

These banana bites are so easy to make! They are perfect to grab and go, and they satisfy those sweet tooth cravings. 

Three simple ingredients:
2 Bananas
1/4 cup of dark cacao chips (anything over 80% dark cacao)
1/4 cup of raw almond butter

Directions:

  • Cut up the banana into good-sized chunks. Two bananas will get you about 10-12 pieces. 
  • Heat the almond butter and cacao chips in the microwave on high for one minute. Stir until smooth.
  • Dip the bananas into the mixture; then place on parchment paper, leaving some space between them. 
  • Top them off with the chocolate-butter mixture that is left over. 
  • Freeze overnight. 
SO easy, right?! You can even sprinkle them with unsweetened coconut flakes or chopped almonds before freezing. These are a big hit at parties - some people think that the banana tastes like vanilla ice cream once they're frozen - YUM. 

To add to the sweetness, some fun facts:

Bananas are full of potassium, iron, calcium, and vitamin B6. They boost your energy and help with digestion. 

Dark Cacao is high in antioxidants, mood enhancing, reduces anxiety, and aids in weight loss. 

Can this treat get any better? Just wait until you try them...
