Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Bites Recipe

This recipe originally appeared over at Thrive Market.  I am sharing this recipe with permission as part of Thrive Market’s Partnership Program. The post includes affiliate links.

I am always on the lookout for fun treats that are more on the healthy side than packaged treats.  I don’t want chemicals and nutrition in each bite is important to me.  I’ve been seeing “magic” chocolate shell all over Pinterest and have been excited to give it a try.  I love the ingredients in these frozen peanut butter banana bite recipe and always have coconut oil on hand so this recipe was a no-brainer.  You just can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter in my house!  Ok…………enough jibber jabber.  Let’s get to this recipe from Thrive Market!

Chocolate-covered frozen bananas are a summertime classic, but just because it’s back to school, doesn’t mean it’s time to say goodbye. Assemble these little mini pops for a bite-sized after-school treat. Your little kiddos can even help; making the two-ingredient “magic” chocolate shell is like the best kind of science experiment—incredible and edible.

    Whenever I’m cooking my daughter wants to help but often things are a little complicated for her to do as much as she would like. This looks like a simple fun treat that she could totally make herself! Thanks 🙂 #Letsgetrealsocial

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
