Welcome to another Foodie Friday where I am linking up to my friends at Simple Living Eating. Today I am sharing one of my FAVORITE healthy desserts. I call them Heavenly Banana Bites. They truly are heavenly in my book, which means they are also easy to make, low-cal, filling and delicious!! The pictures practically explain this entire recipe, but I will outline the details as well. First, you will slice one medium banana into even portions since you will be matching up slices to make little “sandwiches.”
Slice one medium banana
Next, grab about 1.5 tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter. In this case, I used a Healthy Harvest Creamy Organic Peanut Butter. It is so smooth and creamy, but I’m sure you could also use crunchy if that is your thing.
1.5 Tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter
Next, spread the peanut butter on one half of the banana slices. Isn’t your mouth starting to water already?
Spread PB on 1/2 of the banana slices
I bet you know what is coming… make little sandwiches with the plain banana slices on top of the slices with peanut butter.
make those cute banana sandwiches
The only mistake I made with the photos is that you need to put your banana sandwiches on some parchment paper so they will not stick to your plate in the freezer. Place the banana sandwiches in the freezer for about an hour. Plate your dessert and drizzle with light chocolate sauce.
Voila! Heavenly Banana Bites!
This example shows all the bananas, but this is two servings worth. Believe me, you will be FULL after 4 little sandwiches. So, lets summarize our ingredients and calorie estimates:
- One medium banana – Approximate 100 calories
- 1.5 tablespoons peanut butter – 300 calories if you use it all. I probably used about 1 tablespoon (200 calories)
- 1 tablespoon Light Chocolate sauce – 25 calories
Grand total per serving only 150-210 calories (depending on how much PB you use). Yippee! What is one of your favorite healthy snacks or dessert?
We are going through a Nutella craze at my house… I could totally see using that in these little heavenly bites as well! Yum!
That sounds like a great idea!
Thanks for hosting Jenn! Those bites look heavenly indeed.

Thanks for inviting me over – to link cup to the party. WE LOVE bananas and peanut butter over here at our counters
Who doesn’t love PB and bananas?

Super easy and even I was surprised by how filling they were.
what a simple dish. My little ones love bananas with peanut butter. I’ll have to add some dark chocolate. Thank you for the healthy bites.
Unfortunately, my son is allergic to nuts, but my daughter LOVED these.
Mmmm … this looks delicious!
These look delish! I might add some strawberries to that mix as well!
I saw another recipe with strawberries. I had already taken my photos, but I am totally doing that next time.
OMG – I love it! I am curious, would almond butter would work as well, but I am so doing these
Let us know how almond butter works.
Nice. I like it when I have all the ingredients on hand. I like that you gave the nutritional info.
