They may not look gorgeous, but these frozen dark chocolate covered chia flour banana bits are outrageously good. Inspired by the Trader Joe's version, these little bites will satisfy any sweet tooth. I pre-dipped the banana pieces into Cold Pressed White Chia Flour to add some extra fiber and make these a little healthier. For the chocolate, I used ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate baking chips and organic coconut oil — an easy and healthy alternative to using shortening in your dipping chocolate. You can also easy use vegan dark chocolate instead of 60% dark. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 package of ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons of Cold Pressed White Chia Flour (I order mine here)

Method:
• Cut up your three bananas into 3/4 inch slices.
• In a small saucepan, combine half of the package of chocolate chips and coconut oil. Cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Once chocolate is melted, dip each piece of banana in Cold Pressed White Chia Flour, and then dip in chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat until you have dipped all banana pieces. Place in the freezer for 1 hour to cool. Once cold, remove all banana pieces from the cookie sheet, and move into freezer safe container.

Enjoy!

These Sea Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas are one of my go-to snacks! Both healthy and delicious, these will most likely become your new favorite. Besides being an excellent vegan and gluten-free source of protein and fiber, chickpeas also contain exceptional levels of iron, vitamin B-6 and magnesium. They take about one hour to make, and store well in a covered container for days.

Ingredients
• 2 cans of organic chickpeas
• 1 pint of white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt

Method
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain and rinse your chickpeas with water.
• Add chickpeas to a saucepan with the vinegar, and bring to a boil. Once the chickpeas and vinegar have come to a boil, remove from heat and let them stand for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, drain the chickpeas in a strainer and toss them in olive oil.
• Place the chickpeas in a roasting pan and mix in the sea salt.
• Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring every ten minutes.

Enjoy!
