An energy bite if you will! As I was making these I realized that I can shape them into little Mickey Mouse faces so I call them “Mickey chocolate”
Makes 16 Mickey balls (that doesn’t sound right)
Ingredients
1 avocado
1 banana
1/2c chunky peanut butter
1/2c oats
1c cocoa (unsweetened)
1tsp vanilla
Directions:
You’ll want to mash avocado and banana really well! I used a muffler but you can use a fork! Mix all the rest of the ingredients together. Line a plate with parchment paper and start to shape your balls, however you like! I used a tablespoon so I got the same size each time but you can make some small and some large ones (for the days you need more energy)
Freeze for 2 hours. Place in a freezer storage bag and pop one out when you need a treat!

From a dietitians point of view:
I think this is totally worth the calories. Each piece is pretty balanced giving you protein and fiber along with carbs for only 80 calories. I use this as a treat for my son so he doesn’t know he’s eating avocado for dessert, or I enjoy it in the morning with some coffee if I want a light bite before I hit the gym! This is great as a chocolate fix in the afternoon when you hit a slump. All in all a great addition to your diet!
