Ingredients for 1-Minute Healthy Recovery Snack

Making this easy vegan recovery snack requires only 4 simple ingredients, as detailed below:

• Banana – A true nutritional powerhouse, bananas are rich in potassium and magnesium, vitamins and phytonutrients, as well as dietary fiber. Banana will easily keep you nourished and full after an intense activity, and its taste and texture will pair perfectly with dark chocolate.

• Raisins – Rich in potassium and magnesium, raisins also come with complex carbs (and lots of healthy fiber) that help with digestion and absorption of nutrients. For best results use organic raisins that are free of additives (like sugar and oils) and preservatives.

• Dried Figs – Same as with raisins, dried figs offer almost the same nutritional and health benefits. They are also a bit salty so they will match perfectly with the sweetness of raisins. Should you want to keep the carbs level even lower, consume more dried figs and fewer raisins overall. Stay away from dried figs that come with additives and preservatives of any kind.

• Dark Chocolate – Choose a quality chocolate that has 85% cacao or even more. This entire treat will be sweet enough from the raisins and dried figs, there is no point in ruining the flavors by making it even sweeter. Real chocolate should only contain cacao mass, cacao butter, natural sweetener and maybe natural flavor like vanilla.

• Himalayan Salt (optional) – In case you’re feeling a bit dehydrated, try adding a pinch of Himalayan salt to this snack. Listen to your body and, in case you feel the need for something salty, add a pinch of salt over those bananas.
