Granola Banana Snack


It's a Monday so let's keep things simple and quick today!  This was a snack I made up for an afternoon pick-me-up at the office.  Three basic ingredients...banana, almond butter and homemade granola or trail mix (whatever you want to call it).

This granola/trail mix was just a combo of items I had in my pantry that I thought would taste good together.

  • Raisins
  • Cheerios
  • Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • Crushed up honey oat granola bar
  • A few M&M's
  • Chopped up dark chocolate

Slather a banana with almond butter and stick the granola on.  Eat it with a fork and enjoy this salty sweet treat!  I ate this for an afternoon snack but it could easily be a quick breakfast as well.  You've got fruit, healthy fats and protein all working together for a simple and delicious combo.

This is barely a "recipe" and what's great is you can make this however YOU like!  Not a fan of almond butter...go for the classic peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) or maybe some cashew butter?  How about walnuts or almonds in your granola or sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin seeds?  Maybe some toasted coconut or other dried fruit?  The combinations are endless and completely up to you!
