Nutrition Breakdown

• Bananas: you may have heard bananas are good for preventing muscle cramps, well that’s due to their high potassium content, which is true! Potassium is an electrolyte we lose in sweat, that needs to be replaced! Learn more about what else you can do with ripe bananas here!
• Dark chocolate: lower in sugar than milk chocolate and white chocolate, it also contains more flavonoids, powerful antioxidants! Check out more information on dark chocolate here, provided by The Cleveland Clinic.
• Coconut oil: this is optional, but adding a spoon in can keep the chocolate more liquid-y which makes it easier to spread. Coconut oil is okay in moderation, but does contain saturated fat, so I always use sparingly.

1. Slice your bananas up
2. Spread out on a cooking sheet/baking tray
3. Freeze for at least 1 hour
4. Melt your dark chocolate and coconut oil if using
5. Drizzle the dark chocolate over the bananas, or you can dip them into the chocolate
