When it comes to summer snacks… it seems like they just accumulate to create meals. That means I want my snacks to be as balanced as my meals are year-round, and that begins with easy, prep-able creations.
These mini banana “cupcakes” are absolute favorites of my whole family’s, and they can be made with crunchy, smooth, or powdered peanut butter depending on your likes!

Right!? Healthy isn’t bland!
Peanut butter and strawberries together sounds like an interesting combination. I would have never thought of putting those two things together.

And we just brought home 4 bunches of bananas from timing a race, this is perfect. I love that anyone can make them! Did you know you can mix 1 mashed banana, an egg, and 2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder for a delicious no sugar added mug cake that takes 90 seconds in the microwave on high? It’s delish!
I NEED TO TRY THIS!!! That sounds amazing!!!
What a creative idea. I will definitely try this.
