Hey there, readers! Today marked the last day of my first semester of MBA school, and I can’t believe how quickly the time flew by. Juggling two graduate-level business classes with a full-time job was no joke, so I’m definitely looking forward to having a nice little break from school between semesters. July may be nearly over, but it feels like my summer is just getting started! 🙂
Every good summer requires a trip to the beach, time spent outdoors, and at least one cookout with family and friends. I love creating fun little side dishes to bring out to social gatherings, so when I heard that Nuts.com was holding a recipe contest to create a summer snack using specific ingredients, I knew I had to participate! 🙂
From there, these fruit sliders were born. Sprinkled with super foods like goji berries, which are filled with antioxidants, and chia seeds, which are rich in Omega-3, this snack is the perfect combination of healthy and delicious. These fruit sliders are so easy to make that they barely require a recipe, and the best part is, you can swap out the fruit depending on what you are in the mood for. I chose bananas, but apple slices would also go great with these ingredients!
This recipe serves one person as an individual snack, so adjust your quantities accordingly.
Ingredients:
- One banana
- Cacao butter
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cacao nibs
- Roughly 1 tsp of goji berries
Instructions:
- Peel and slice banana.
- Spread each slice with cacao butter as desired.
- Top with cacao nibs and goji berries (about one goji berry per banana slice should suffice, depending on how big your slices are).
- Sprinkle with chia seeds.
- Serve. (It’s really that easy!)
