Healthy 4th of July Treats

If you read the blog regularly, you know that I absolutely love the Fourth of July! I’ve been on a big baking kick recently (as my friends and co-workers are probably starting to realize), and this week I wanted to share a few of my favorite healthy dessert recipes for the 4th.  While my favorite is always a classic, all-American berry pie,  my mom makes these every summer and they’re the perfect light summer treat. Best of all, you don’t need to cook anything and they’re super easy to assemble.

1. To start, peel bananas and cut into into bite size pieces (just under one inch).
2. Roll in (light) sour cream or Greek yogurt, spreading thinly.
3. Roll in shredded, sweetened coconut. You can also add other toppings for added texture, like sliced almonds or mini chocolate chips.
