If you are hosting a get together with friends over the Easter break then you may be looking for some quick (and I mean SUPER quick) and easy nibble ideas to serve with drinks.
Frozen Banana Chips
The dark chocolate gives you that nice crunch against the soft banana. If you want to make them even healthier you can replace the dark chocolate with a grated raw cacao and coconut oil mixture. If you fancy making them as more of a ‘pudding’ simply slice the banana in half lengthways, smear with chocolate and sprinkle with nuts and then freeze. Serve with low fat greek yogurt or creme fraiche for a healthier banana split!
{Ingredients}
- 1 or 2 bananas
- Half a block of dark chocolate
- Assorted crushed nuts
Method
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave if you prefer!)
- Slice the banana
- Dip each slice and place on a sheet of greaseproof paper on a plate
- Sprinkle with nuts.
- Freeze for a few hours on the plate then transfer to a bag or pot ready to enjoy straight from the freezer!
Frozen Yogurt Drops
We made them with fat free greek yogurt but you can go for any flavour yogurt combination you want. A nice swirl of honey through the greek yogurt makes it extra tasty. Greek yogurt works well as it holds its shape when you spoon it but it you use a runnier yogurt just create one giant drop and then you can break it up in to shards. Top with any of your favourite fruit or nuts. Beware when you take them out the freezer they do melt relatively quickly so only serve when needed.

Greek YogurtToppings of your choice
Method
- Place some greaseproof paper on a plate or tray.
- Dollop teaspoons of yogurt at intervals on to the paper.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
A pretty classic combination. If you want to make them even healthier you can replace the dark chocolate with a grated raw cacao and coconut oil mixture.
{Ingredients}
- Punnet of strawberries
- Half a block of dark chocolate
- Assorted crushed nuts
Method
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave if you prefer!)
