Blueberry Banana S’mores

August 2, 2023 General /FamilyRecipes

S’mores are a classic summertime favorite, made with graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and chocolate bars. Since S’mores are loaded with sugar and calories, we decided to give this sweet treat a healthy makeover by filling them instead with nutritious bananas, summer’s freshest blueberries, and protein-rich peanut butter. Serve as a snack or dessert with a cold, refreshing glass of milk.

Blueberry Banana S’mores

MAKES 2 SERVINGS

4 graham crackers, broken crosswise in half

8 teaspoons peanut butter

16 thin slices peeled banana

36 blueberries

TIP: For toddlers and preschoolers, you may want to mash the blueberries and bananas first before topping, and consider reducing the portion size from 2 S’mores to 1.

  • Place the 8 graham cracker squares on a cutting board or clean work surface. Spread each square with 1 teaspoon peanut butter. Set 4 of the squares aside.
  • Top each of the remaining squares with 4 banana slices and 9 blueberries. Top with the remaining crackers to create “sandwiches.” The peanut butter will prevent the blueberries from falling out!
