Go Bananas
Looking for a healthy, quick protein fix? Try these banana trail mix treats.
2 bananas
1/3 cup of nut butter ( your choice )
1/3 cup of trail mix ( I used a gluten-free mix )
If your mix doesn't have chocolate chips, you can add them.
You need two plates. One for the trail mix, the other for the nut butter. Cut bananas in half.
Roll each banana piece, first in nut butter, then into the trail mix.
Place bananas in air-tight container in the fridge or freezer. They tend to be messy, but my kids love them.
Careful when eating them frozen as they are hard on the teeth.
Enjoy!
