Healthy Frozen Banana Bites

Pin It

I was making frozen chocolate bananas and banana bites before they were all the rage on Pinterest. Chocolate banana bites are seriously yummy, BUT not so healthy. Though bananas are high in potassium and vitamin B6, they also have a high glycemic index (GI), which means they are a high in sugar. So, being the fiber freak that I am, I came up with a healthier version with the added fiber health bonus! (which helps since bananas cause constipation anyway!)
The flavor resembles banana cream pudding!
1. Chop your banana into small bite sized pieces and pour some MILLED Golden Flaxseed into a bowl. (Milled flax is like a powder)
2. Toss the banana bites to completely cover with the flax
3. Put bites onto a plate and gently shake the plate to shake off excess flax
4. Freeze your bites in a freezer ziplock bag for about an hour or so...
5. then enjoy! They are really yummy! They don't taste "flaxy"
You can eat right out of the freezer or let them sit for 10 minutes or so.
They will still be very cold, but will be a bit softer which my kids seem to like better.

  1. Hmm... bananas do help "thicken" the stool which is very helpful if you are experiencing diarrhea. But if you are consuming enough water they shouldn't *cause* constipation (remember it's fluid intake AND fiber). (Sorry the Dietitian just has to comment!! Hehe!!

    Great post! Thanks!
