Chocolate-Dipped Almond Butter Banana Bites

These are one of my favorite indulgent, guilt-free snacks! I bought these, loved them, and quickly realized the price tag didn't reflect the ingredients so I made my own! This specific recipe/technique comes from A Healthy Slice of Life, but the basic idea is a peanut butter-banana sandwich dipped in chocolate and then frozen. You can sub the peanut butter with a nut butter, you can sub the dark chocolate for milk, you could even add jam with the filling! It's just enough sweet and protein to satisfy your cravings, minus any sugar hangover!

Ingredients

  • 3 large bananas
  • 1/3 cup nut butter of choice
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate of choice

Instructions

  1. Slice bananas into slices about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  2. Spread a little nut butter onto a slice and sandwich two slices together.
  3. Place on wax paper on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid, at least an hour.
  4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler and remove frozen banana bites from freezer.
  5. Dip each banana bite in chocolate and place back on wax paper. Freeze for another hour.
  6. Transfer and keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
