Chocolate Banana Cashew Bites

Chocolate Banana Cashew Bites are the perfect treat when you’re craving chocolate in the healthy form of raw cacao powder, banana and raw cashew butter.

They have a nice hint of sweetness. The touch of sweetness from the maple syrup and mashed banana helps fulfill any sweet cravings you have. If you are someone who craves something sweet after a meal, make the smaller version of these and store them in your freezer. They’ll soften up quickly and, therefore, be ready to eat in a hurry. It will keep you from reverting to something unhealthy!
