Healthy, because
This dessert is real nerve food. Magnesium contained in the bananas makes it possible. The mineral makes our nerves relax. Potassium also helps with stress, as it is important for the transmission of stimuli. Chocolate is also good for our brain, as researchers have found that it stimulates blood circulation in the brain, so we are more concentrated.
Even smarter
Depending on your chocolate preference, you can also use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content - because the higher this proportion in the chocolate, the better for your blood pressure: the flavonoids it contains keep it in balance. The dessert of baked chocolate bananas is perfect for processing brown bananas.
