If you\u2019ve ever watched Arrested Development<\/em>, then you\u2019re familiar with their famous frozen banana treat known as G.O.B. (frozen banana double dipped in chocolate<\/a> with double the nuts). This healthier take on the TV dessert features heart-healthy chia seeds<\/a> and hemp hearts (also known as shelled hemp seeds). Dark chocolate chips are melted with coconut oil to create a buttery, velvet glaze, and nut butter adds a rich flavor and filling protein. Just be warned: While this DIY sushi recipe packs plenty good-for-you nutrients, it’s fairly calorie-dense (and wildly addictive!) so stick to 1\/2-half banana serving if you can. And don’t forget to share \u2014 we recommend keeping a stash in the freezer or packing them up in cooler to earn major summer picnic points.<\/p>\n
