Frozen Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwiches

I love bananas and I love peanut butter so what could be better than combining the two to make the perfect snack. I love putting both ingredients together in sandwiches or on slices of toast but in the Summer months I rarely fancy either so an alternative for my favourite foods was needed, introducing the frozen banana and peanut butter sandwich.

This creation is great for both a breakfast food or a healthy pre/post workout snack. Packed full of protein, it manages to squash any hunger pains and being frozen you feel like you are getting a form of ice cream, a treat for the taste buds.

Simple to make, it is a great way to use up any over ripe bananas and also an idea to encourage little ones who are reluctant to eat fruit to get consuming one of their five a day.

Ingredients

* Bananas
* Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

Preparation

* Each banana that you use cut in half and then half length ways, giving you the outers of two sandwiches.

* On two of the halves spread a good coating of peanut butter, the more the better I say.

* Pop the other half of your bananas on top to create your sandwich.

* Place in the freezer for atleast 3-4 hours and then eat.

If you want to make it a slightly naughtier treat you can always coat the banana in dark chocolate before freezing.
