Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

Uncategorized

We are officially into the second month of the year, so I think it’s fair to ask the question of all questions…how is that weight loss resolution going?? 😉 I joined a gym last month, which has been different for me since I’ve either had a free membership through the Air Force base or it was warm enough to run outside while living in California, but I have to be honest – it has been so amazing! I love getting a good burn in every day. Working out isn’t my struggle though. Eating is. My day usually starts out really well. I’ll make myself an egg white omelet or some steel cut oats, but by the middle of the day, I feel like if I don’t get some sugar in my system, I really might die! This was the case last week.

Zach and I were grocery shopping and I told him I needed a root beer float, STAT! He, being the nice, supportive husband that he is, suggested that rather than hopping myself up on sugar, we make a little snack that will curb my sweet tooth, while not killing my calorie count at the same time. That’s where these babies enter in. They’re simple to make and are only 25 calories a pop! I plan on keeping these in my freezer at all times for when those sugar rushes strike.
