Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Bites

One of my favorite healthy desserts to have is frozen banana peanut butter bites!  It's much better alternative to ice cream, and they are so easy to make.  And it's great for when you have bananas that are going brown and you can't use them for anything else!

Ingredients:

5 medium ripe bananas
1 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter
2 oz. plain Greek yogurt

Peel one of the bananas, mash it, and mix it with the peanut butter and yogurt. Set this aside. Peel the other bananas and slice them so they are about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the banana, peanut butter, and yogurt mixture on one side of a slice of banana. Then place another slice on top of that so it's like a sandwich.  Do this with the rest of the slices.  Then put the little sandwiches on a plate and freeze for at least 2 hours.



For chocolate lovers:
Freeze the bananas for 1 hour instead of 2.  Melt 10 oz. of baking chocolate in a large bowl--I try 45 seconds in the microwave and then stir it, and repeat until it's completely melted.  Take the bites out of the freezer and immediately coat each with the chocolate by dipping it into the bowl.  Do this quickly because you don't want the bananas to get mushy. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.  Put in the freezer for another 2 hours.
