Being a lover of chocolate and a person who can sometimes be a tad hasty when wanting a treat, I couldn’t have found a better match than my No Bake Chocolate Chia Energy Balls.

During a talk by nutritional therapist Beatrice Rabkin at The Good Food and Wine Show this past weekend, I noticed that I kept hearing the words “kefir” and “probiotics” when she was speaking about the gut.

Mornings can be hectic and chaotic, and for many of us its a struggle to fit in a well balanced breakfast. Whether you are a personal trainer like myself where your mornings start before sunrise or you spend a large portion of your mornings making sure your kids are filled with nutrition for the day. Its easy to find yourself grabbing a double cap and waiting till later that afternoon to nourish yourself.

After the countless banana smoothie, I started loosing my love for these yellow fellows and that made my heart sad.
I came across this idea of a ‘banana pop’ and just couldn’t see how one could go wrong when adding two of my favorite things in the UNIVERSE, chocolate and peanut butter.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 bananas
- 2 tbsp organic peanut butter
- 6 blocks of 70% dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 10 almonds
DIRECTIONS:
- Peel and halve bananas.
- Insert Popsicle sticks into each half.
- Place on a lined cookie sheet or plate and freeze for 2 hours.
- Melt peanut butter with 1 tbsp coconut oil in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds until mixed well.
- Pour the mixture over the frozen banana to coat.
- Pop the coated bananas back into freezer.
- Crush almonds – leave aside to be used as a topping after cacao coating.
- Melt dark chocolate in microwave. Mix well.
- Pour melted cacao over frozen bananas.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed almond onto chocolate before it sets.
- Chill chocolate-covered bananas for an extra 10 minutes and enjoy!
Store in the freezer up to 1 week
