Healthilicious: Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Sammies

Once the summer heat settles in here in Minnesota, I'm always thinking of and searching for healthy snacks for the kids that will cool them off after an afternoon walk or time at the playground.

Last summer I started making these frozen peanut butter banana sammies, and they were a huge hit with my kids. I was even able to make them gluten-free for Speedy with "S'moreables"- a great gluten-free alternative to graham crackers!

I should warn you that these are ridiculously simple. Like, even my husband could do this... and that's saying a lot. ;) Three ingredients, 10 minutes of prep, about an hour or so in the freezer, and you have a super yummy treat! I usually make them in bulk when I prep our weekly snacks- such a time saver!


Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Sammies

10 graham cracker "sheets" (s'moreables, if you're gluten-free)
2 bananas, mashed
natural peanut butter (we love Jif brand)

1. Break each graham cracker sheet in half, set aside.
2. Peel bananas, and mash with a fork.
3. Spread peanut butter on the underside of each graham square.
4. Spread banana mash on top of peanut butter (just one square) and top with the other square.
5. Put them on a baking sheet or plate and stick them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or so. Take them out and wrap in foil. Store in freezer for up to 1 week.

Your kids will love them, and you probably will, too...so make extra.
