OK, I’m not going to lie… I hesitated to share this Paleo Frozen Banana Bites recipe with you because I thought…Frozen dipped fruit… do people really need a recipe for that?
(Also, because usually… if I have bananas – I’m going to turn them into Healthy Banana Bread)
Buuut then I noticed that something exactly like these were being sold in the store for almost $6 for the tiniest bag and thought, yep I do need to share this!
Making your own frozen fruit bites is an awesome healthy and delicious frozen treat that everyone will love (plus, it’s quick, easy, and waaaay cheaper than what you’re gonna get in the store!)
I originally shared this recipe in a sponsored Instagram post with Kitchfix. Posting it to the blog wasn’t part of our agreement, so this technically isn’t sponsored – but I always like to disclose things!
We just really loved this recipe (and their granola!) and wanted to share it with everyone! Their paleo granola is what makes these paleo frozen banana bites so much better than the store bought ones.
It gives them a yummy crunch without adding any gluten or grains!
Obviously, you could make these without granola and just use bananas, chocolate, and coconut oil. I’m sure they would be just as delicious if you don’t have the granola on hand and still want to make these little treats!
You also could add chopped nuts on top, or if you’re feeling a little wild and crazy.. maybe even an almond butter drizzle on top before freezing. YUM!
These little guys are perfect for when you kinda want a dessert, but also don’t want to eat something like a big scoop of ice cream and feel overly full.
I know I personally have a huge sweet tooth and love having just a little something after I eat my dinner. One or two of these slices is usually enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, and they’re nice and cold which is perfect with the Summer heat we have!
If you’re looking for an easy, frozen treat – look no further! These are delicious and super quick to make!

My young niece is gluten free so most desserts are a no-go, but I made these when I went to see her once and she loved them! Perfect for little kids– I didn’t have granola so I added peanuts on the top instead and it was delicious!

I’m so glad that your niece liked them!! I’m glad she could enjoy a gluten free treat 🙂

After seeing all the heavy metal warnings with chocolates I’d rather skip for right now. . would you recommend switching it out in this recipe for a nut butter instead?
The Clean Eating Couple says
You can’t really substitute nut butter for chocolate. If you’re avoiding chocolate this really isn’t the recipe for you – sorry!
