Tips & Tricks
Use bananas that are ripe with a few brown speckles for the best natural sweetness.
Freeze the bites on a flat tray first so they don’t stick together.
If the yogurt coating seems thin, dip the banana slices twice for a thicker layer.
For extra flavor, drizzle a little honey or melted dark chocolate over the frozen bites before serving.
