- 1/2 banana ripe
- 8 ounces cream cheese low-fat, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- stevia liquid to taste
- 1 tablespoon almonds crushed
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar

- Either spoon banana mixture into an icing bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe onto the top of each prepared strawberry, or add banana mixture to a gallon size ziplock bag and snip off about 1/2-inch on one of the bottom corners, or simply spoon mixture into each strawberry.
- In a small bowl, stir together crushed almonds, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of strawberries.

I don't like the flavor of stevia. What would be a good substitute?
You can omit the stevia, if you prefer. The fruit, honey, vanilla, and coconut sugar will provide plenty of sweetness, so no substitution is needed.
