These oh-so-nutritious banana bites are easy to prepare and loved by everyone — especially children. The sky's the limit with how you can use the fortified nut butter.
Serves: 2
Prep Time: 3-5 minutes (Children love to help with this recipe)
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 1/3 cup almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
- 1/3 TSP Green Complete Superfood Powder
Directions:
Mix together well the nut butter and Green Complete Powder. Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise. Spread the nut butter mixture on one side of the banana. Cover with the other half of the banana and then slice into bite-size pieces. You can make extra to keep on hand for up to 2 days and store the entire banana in an airtight container. Cut them into bites only when ready to enjoy or serve it. Both smooth or chunky-style nut butters work well for this recipe.
