Spring is slowly warming us up Down Under but I’m still feeling the effects from a winter cold that I just can’t seem to shake. Changing to daylight saving time on the weekend didn’t help. What I need are some energy boosting treats.
My Banana Power Bites are just the thing to give much needed energy when you’re under the weather. They are easy to make and even easier to eat!
Banana Power Bites
Ingredients
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup mashed lady finger bananas
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon cold dandelion-root tea*
shredded coconut for rolling in
Instructions
Mix together the oats and mashed banana in a bowl.
Add the maple syrup and dandelion tea and mix until combined.
Roll tablespoons of mixture in coconut until well coated.

I also have a cold I just cannot shake, your banana power bites might just do the trick.

I’ve started eating bananas again and I’m feeling much better. Hope you get better soon.

These look yummy, and easy! I love banana and coconut. Sorry to hear about your cold, hope you are better. We have not switched to the autumn time change yet, but I dread it! Such a stupid, arbitrary thing.

I’m feeling much better, thank goodness. I’ve been eating a banana a day and I think that has helped. I hate daylight saving time – just pick a time and stick with it! 🙂

I agree! The daylight savings time discombobulates everyone. Most people I talk to would like to do away with it. Also, it really makes even LESS sense to me now that I know Australia has already switched and the US has not… This makes world times even more inconsistent!

It’s even more confusing in Australia as Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia don’t have daylight saving!
