so the first treat we're making are these banana almond butter bites you're
gonna need some paleo chocolate some almond butter and a banana I'm starting
off by slicing my banana in two thin slices and the banana is great here
because it adds a little bit of sweetness and has a good texture when
it's frozen similar to ice cream so slice your banana into slices and then I
am going to be taking some almond butter and putting that in between two of the
banana slices and you can use any kind of nut or seed butter here and this will
help not only to add some nice healthy fats to it but the combo with the banana
and nut butter is so delicious and so classic you can definitely leave them
like this and freeze them as is but I'm gonna go the extra step and dip them in
some paleo chocolate this these really make like a perfect little bite in the
summertime or when it's hot out kind of like a mini ice cream almond butter
sandwich because when the banana freezes it has that great texture so just in
robe each of them in the paleo chocolate and set that on a silicone mat or a
sheet of parchment paper and just work your way through all of the little ones
until they're all coated and keep these in the freezer and then like I said you
can just pop them out whenever you want them you can definitely do this with
other fruits as well like slices of strawberries would work well too with a
nut butter any one you want and then you can just dip it in chocolate and freeze
it and once they're frozen only took about 15 minutes they are delicious
they make the perfect little no bake summer treat they're gonna definitely be
a staple this summer next up is watermelon nachos so you're gonna need
watermelon some grating free granola or nuts some fruit coconut butter and mint
so I'm starting off by making the tortilla chip slices out of my
watermelon so I'm slicing it lengthwise and then we are going to slice them into
triangles and I like this cuz watermelon is super refreshing in the summertime it
has some sweetness and it's also hydrating so when you're hot out and you
need something hydrating refreshing but also kind of a sweet treat this
is perfect I'm slicing them into triangles to make that nacho shape and
then we are going to arrange them on to our plate kind of like how you would
build nachos so go ahead and put as many as you want on to your plate and then
I'm drizzling that with some coconut butter and coconut butter is great
because it is full of healthy fats it almost tastes like white chocolate and
paleo chocolate would also taste good on here but I wanted to make a chocolate
free dessert so if you had some leftover paleo chocolate from the first recipe
you could do that instead of or in addition to the coconut butter and then
I'm putting some blueberries on top but you could do raspberries blackberries
and kind of berries that you like as well as some green free granola you
could also do any kind of nut or seed or you could just do coconut flakes but a
little bit of crunch really works well here and then a little bit of mint which
is really refreshing in the summertime as well and then you have this wonderful
plate of watermelon that shows that you can just pick up a slice you've got a
coconut butter you've got the green finger know a little bit of fruit it's
such a perfect treat to have also with a group too and then we are making cookie
dough cups so for this you're going to need the cookie dough ingredients as
well as some paleo chocolate so to make the cookie dough it is the same recipe
that I used for my paleo cookie dough ice cream sandwiches which I will leave
that video down below in case you haven't seen it it's just coconut flour
vanilla a pinch of Himalayan salt some maple syrup and then some nut or seed
butter in this case I am using almond butter so this makes a really great
paleo also a plant-based vegan dough that you can use in different recipes
I'm just stirring that together until you get a nice thick cookie dough
mixture and what I love about this is that once you bite into it it's going to
taste like a cookie dough but in robe in a chocolate cup and you only need one
cup and it's super satisfying which when you want that little something a little
sweet treat after lunch for after dinner it is perfect and then I'm adding in a
handful of chocolate chips at the end and I'm going to fold those in
Wow so then once you take your silicone baking cups I'm using a teaspoon at the
base of each of the cups of the paleo chocolate which will be listed down
below it's the one I use in all my videos and it's a really simple recipe
it's only three ingredients take a spoonful and put that on the bottom of
your silicone molds and then I'm going to be dividing the cookie dough into 6
so that way it can make 6 large cookie dough cups so roll that into a ball and
then press it down until it gets like a disc shape and press that down into the
chocolate so it sinks right down to the bottom and then just do that to each of
them and this is great because you can definitely make a bunch of these in
advance so that butters kind of ready to go for whenever you want a little sweet
treat and then just finish off the top with another teaspoon of the paleo
chocolate so that it covers the top you can also add in a small sprinkle of sea
salt if you like the combo of salt and sweet which I really do and I highly
recommend it does bring up a chocolate a little bit and it really complements it
well and then you're just gonna pop these in the freezer for about 20
minutes at least so that they harden and then you can just store them in the
freezer as well long term and have one whenever you like
these are definitely a great classic to keep in the freezer for when your sweet
tooth hits so I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you make these recipes
