I found this recipe on the side of one of my favorite yogurt cups. It's very easy to make, and perfect for a quick "pick me up" in the morning, or anytime. I hope you like them! :)

    I just want to add that I used dated instead of raisins when I made it. I also increased the amount of dates to a cup and a half, and tossed in a handful of raisins, for variety. I also increased the amount of banana almost up to 3 whole bananas. Some in bigger chunks (for texture) and the rest mashed up.
