Another note: Be sure to use ripe bananas with no green when freezing them. Bananas that are even the least bit green have a binding effect in the body, whereas ripe bananas pass right through!

mmmorgans..yes that is true they can be a bit bitter. Try grinding them up first in a coffee blender or something to get more of a powder and add more sweetener. I like them as nice flecks cuz I think it gives a nice essence. If you don't like them or it is too much work to grind them up you can try the raw cacao powder, which works well also! Good Luck!

That sounds delicious, although I find cacao nibs to be very bitter and not very chocolatey, does it taste more like chocolate when they are ground up?
