Kiwi Banana Stacks

These Kiwi Banana Stacks are a favorite treat in our house. The name does not do them justice because these bites are absolutely delicious.  The sweetness from the date and coconut “icing” mixes perfectly with the tart kiwi and smooth texture of banana.

Very easy and cute, these Kiwi Banana Stacks are made a coconut "icing" and sliced banana sandwiched between two slices of fresh kiwi, as shown in this photograph.

If you think this sounds familiar, you’ve probably come across my recipe for A Healthy Birthday Cake? which is where these little Kiwi Banana Stacks were inspired from.  These stacks are just a quicker, scaled down version of the cake.

I’ll sometimes make them on a weekend or for dessert if we are having friends or family over.  You can even make the “icing” ahead of time (storing it in an airtight container in the fridge) and then put together the Kiwi Banana Stacks when needed.

These would also be great served at a birthday party, play date or picnic paired with:

Mini Gluten-Free Banana Muffins

The Best Paleo, Nut-Free  Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vegan Coconut MacaroonsVegan Coconut Macaroons

Chunky Monkey Cookies

Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cups

You can also just layer all the ingredients in a bowl and dig in!

You can also just layer the kiwi banana and coconut "icing" in a bowl, as shown here.
