I love desserts but I try not to eat anything after dinner. Until I got pregnant… My Sweet Tooth took over again so after dinner I always had to take a small dessert. In the beginning I ate lots of those small mochi ice creams, a small scoop of ice cream in a mochi sheet. So delicious! And just enough to satisfy my sweet cravings!

But then I discovered frozen bananas. First I ate those whole bananas on a stick, but at Trader Joe’s I found frozen banana bites. Whoah! Much better, because let’s face it, small banana slices coated with chocolate = more chocolate! 😉
Two or three slices of frozen banana bites is enough to satisfy my cravings.
