This was a tasty afternoon treat for my kids and I. I set them up a picnic outside with a simple trail mix on the side. We all loved it (especially me)! I know it looks like dessert, but it can actually be eaten for lunch!
This recipe was inspired by a recipe by Chocolate Covered Katie, and if you haven't checked out her page yet, you really need to. She posts such good, and also healthy, recipes!!

Chocolate Banana Almond Butter
3 tbsp almond butter
1 1/2 tbsp hazelnut butter (you can sub a different nut butter, but this is my favorite)
1/2 large ripe banana (keep the other half for the sandwich)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp agave nectar or honey
pinch of salt
Mix all ingredients together in a blender, food processor, or just mash and stir it all together by hand. You can store extras in the fridge for a few days.

other half of the banana, sliced
Spread both sides of the biscuits with the butter mixture, then place sliced strawberries and bananas on both sides. Put them together and eat!!
