When the weather gets warmer we typically reach for icy treats to cool ourselves down. A lot of these treats are high in added sugars, fat, and empty calories. While these treats are a great indulgence on occasion, I am alway looking for a nutritional treat that will satisfy my sweet tooth.
And I think I may have found my new favorite treat of Summer 2013:
Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites!
toppings of choice: i.e. walnuts, peanuts, sprinkles...
a baking sheet
and a freezer
Simply cut banana into slices, lay on a baking sheet and freeze for an hour. Melt chocolate in a dipping bowl. Dip banana bites into chocolate, then into the toppings of choice. Place banana bites back onto baking sheet and freeze overnight or for a few hours. Once frozen, these can be transferred to a plastic baggie or freezer-safe container.
Do you have any healthy treats for the approaching summer months?
