Cooking Instructions

Ingredients:

• 1 large banana

• 1 tablespoon of peanut butter

• 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds (also called laminated almonds)

• A splash of cocoa nibs (you can also us semi-sweet chocolate chips)

• A dollop of fat free whipped cream for decoration (optional)

Directions:

1. Peel the banana and cut it in half lengthwise.
   
   

2. Then cut each half in the middle producing a total of 4 pieces of banana.
   
   

3. Spread the peanut butter all over each piece of the banana. Make sure the peanut butter is nice and soft or this step will be tricky.
   
   

4. Sprinkle the laminated almond on top of the peanut butter.
   
   

5. Finally, sprinkle the cocoa nibs (or chocolate chips) on top.
   
   

6. Arrange the banana nicely in a plate and add a dollop of fat free whipped cream as the final touch.
   
   

7. Enjoy!
