     When you have a recipe that is so easy to make that your kids could do it, you have no choice but to make them do it!  Such is the case with my Banana Nut Snack Cake.  This is so simple, and perfect for a after (or before) school fueling, not to mention excellent for on the go as a pre/post workout treat.  For those that don't eat sugar this is plenty sweet enough on it's own, but if you need a little more flavor then add a thin smear of nut butter and top with sliced Bananas or Berries.  Each of these 8 dense pieces are only 296 calories, 36g carbs, 5.5g fiber, 30.5g net carbs, 15.5g protein and 10.5g fat.  These mild squares have super powers for macros.  Lovely combination of complex carbs, fiber, protein and fat.  Get your little ones involved and see if it doesn't open a love for the kitchen deep inside their soul!  :)
