The banana?, our favorite tasty treat that comes conveniently pre-wrapped in nature’s own? packaging is packed with potassium and filled with fiber and magnesium, making it ideal for aiding in digestion and supporting blood ?pressure + heart ❤️+ bone ? health. Bananas provide our bodies with a variety of vitamins and minerals and they’re naturally fat, cholesterol and sodium free!
1. PB Banana Bites: cut a banana into roughly 1.5 inch pieces ?and spread a small spoonful ?of peanut (or your favorite nut) butter ?on top. Transfer to fridge and let cool ❄️for 10-15 minutes. In a medium bowl, microwave melting chocolate ?with a spoon of coconut oil ?until it is completely melted. Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a plate and dip banana bites in the melted chocolate and let them set on the parchment paper. Once all the bites are coated, transfer them to the fridge (or freezer for a frozen treat⛄️) and enjoy after it sets, around 20-30 min later.
