4. Chocolate-Covered Banana Bites

Another fantastic snack is banana bites covered with chocolate cream. When you crave something sweet and chocolate-like, you don’t have to spend much, especially when you know how to make some delicious chocolate-covered banana bites. All you need are ripe banana slices, chocolate chips, and coconut oil. As far as the tools you’ll need for the job goes, only a refrigerator, microwave, cookie sheet, fork, microwave-safe bowl, and parchment will be necessary.

To make the bites, start by lining the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then, on the parchment paper, lay out and refrigerate the banana slices. Next, transfer the coconut oil plus chocolate chips to the bowl. Now, microwave the mixture until the chocolate chips melt and combine with the oil. After that, remove the chocolate plus oil mixture from the microwave and let it cool. After that, dip the frozen banana slices in the mixture to ensure that each slice coats on all sides. You can then lift them out of the mixture, using the fork. Finally, return your chocolate-covered banana bites to the freezer and let the bites freeze before serving them.

5. Oatmeal with Banana

Oatmeal with banana is another fantastic way to consume bananas. By the way, this is one of my favorite breakfast treats, thanks to the flavor, how filling it is, and how easy it is to fix. Just stir in some ripe banana slices into your already prepared oatmeal and enjoy the meal.

6. Banana Fruit kabob

A banana fruit kabob is sweet, juicy, and colorful. This is an incredible way to enjoy bananas and other fruits at the same time. It’s a fantastic summer treat you can make in no time.

Just look for some ripe bananas, plus other fruits that you love eating. I do use mangoes, berries, and watermelon besides bananas. The only equipment you’ll need here is a wooden skewer.

To make your banana fruit kabob, wash, peel, and slice all the fruits accordingly. Thereafter, thread the fruits onto the stick, one fruit after the other, to finalize your kabob.

Final Thoughts

Bananas are delicious, healthy and they can be consumed in so many creative and fun ways. You can have your bananas in smoothies, coconut chia pudding, or pancakes. Also, you can have them in chocolate bites, oatmeal, or fruit kabob. The list is endless, depending on how creative you are.
