Today’s guest post [thank you blogging friends for the virtual treats while this Momma is on a little maternity leave!] is brought to you by my friend, fellow registered dietitian, and busy mom, Amanda! I think from the title of this recipe you can already guess it’s perfect for a simple summer snack, BBQ sweet treat, or a recipe you can get the kids involved in the kitchen with! Take it away Amanda!
Banana Split Bites are made with just 4 ingredients and are simple, healthy treats that are perfect for summer!
Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a registered dietitian, blogger and mom that writes at The Nutritionist Reviews. I am lucky enough to know Katie in real life. We met online and then got together in person for the first time right after her second son was born and have been friends ever since. Katie is an inspiration as a mom and as a dietitian blogger. I look up to her in many ways and love her tips for healthy eating for kids. I too love to create healthy recipes as well as write about fitness, nutrition and parenting. My daughter is almost two and lucky for me, is a great eater. I love to make healthy treats for her that she will love—> such as these delicious banana split bites!
These banana split bites are super easy to make and are fun for adults and kids. If your chocolate is not thin enough for dipping, add a bit of coconut oil to make it easier to dip. The fruit is rich in vitamins and fiber and provides enough sweetness to be a perfect snack or dessert.
- 1 banana, cut into 6 pieces
- 3 large strawberries, halved
- 1 cup pineapple, cut into 6 pieces
- ¼ cup chocolate
- 6 popsicle sticks
- Take popsicle sticks and thread a piece of banana, pineapple and strawberry on each.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute while stirring frequently until melted.
- Drizzle chocolate on the fruit.
- Serve immediately or freeze for later. Enjoy!

When they thaw from the freezer do the banana’s turn brown? Any way to keep them from turning for a party treat that may sit for an hour?
