Yield: 2 servings

Skip the bread and cereal -- with almond butter and coconut for protein and good fat, this treat can be eaten anytime of the day, even for breakfast.

3 tablespoons raw almond butter
3-4 tablespoons apple juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 bananas, or 1-2 cups berries
2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional)
2 tablespoon chopped raw nuts (optional)

Blend the almond butter, apple juice, vanilla and optional carob powder in a small bowl. Slice the bananas and top with the almond cream. Sprinkle with the optional coconut flakes and chopped almonds.
