PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BARS (HEALTHY)
These are my favorite go to snack "cake". Each serving fits perfectly in a snack size ziploc, and these freeze beautifully. I put one frozen in my lunch, and when I'm ready for it in the afternoon, it is thawed. Diabetic Exchanges per serving are: 1 Fruit, 1/2 Starch and 1/2 Fat. I am posting the recipe as written, but I always use Splenda. See note at the end of the recipe. Recipe is courtesy of Joanna Lund.

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA SNACK
I just came up with this recipe while trying to figure out what to do with some wheat germ I had. I must say, it's pretty tasty (although I love peanut butter on just about anything!!). This would be a good, healthy snack for kids. Wheat germ is a good source of Vitamin E and Folic Acid. * edit - I've just tried it using Grape Nuts cereal instead of the wheat germ and it is really good as well, so I am listing it as an optional ingredient. Of course the Grape Nuts are a whole lot crunchier than the wheat germ.

Steps:
- Slice the banana into bite sized pieces.
- Smear the top of each slice with peanut butter.
- Dip the peanut butter top into the wheat germ.
- Enjoy!
- * Or you could do like I did and peel the banana most of the way, take a butter knife and smear the top with peanut butter. Then dip it into the wheat germ and bite.
- Repeat until all that's left is the peel. Hey, it's quicker that way. :).
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Rip bananas are sweeter and have a creamier texture, making them ideal for this snack.
- Add-ins for variation: Feel free to add other ingredients to your snack, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
- Make it ahead: These snacks can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container.
- Adjust sweetness: If you find the snack too sweet, you can reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup. You can also use unsweetened peanut butter for a lower-sugar option.
- Experiment with different nut butters: If you don't have peanut butter, you can use other nut butters, such as almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
