Directions:
- Toast the whole grain bread
- Once finished, spread the mashed avocado onto the bread

Frozen Banana Pops
Oh my goodness, I saw this on the Manitoba Harvest website & knew that I immediately had to try this… like yesterday! How good does this look?!
This sweet treat is more than perfect to cool down during the hot, summer days that we’ve been having!
Ingredients (Makes 4):
- 2 bananas
- A handful of dark chocolate chips
- Hemp Hearts
- A handful of crushed walnuts
- Popsicle Sticks
Directions:
- Cut bananas in half and insert a popsicle stick into each banana half! Depending on the length of the popsicle stick, you may have to cut each popsicle stick in half!
- Place the bananas into an uncovered Tupperware container and let it sit in the freezer for around 30 minutes!
- While you let the bananas sit, place your chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and put it in the microwave; turn on! My chocolate chips took about 45 seconds to melt, but this could be different for everyone! Make sure to keep your eye on this, and mix every 15 seconds or so.TIP: Try squeezing a bit of orange juice into the chocolate, post-melt! It puts a different spin on things!!!
- Once the chocolate has melted, take the bananas out of the freezer and start to roll the banana in the melted chocolate until it is covered!
- Sprinkle with crushed walnuts and hemp hearts.
- Freeze the banana pops again; I let mine sit for about two hours!
- Serve!
How do you sprinkle?!
