note
When Ethan has had a rough bout of diarrhea and looks tired, these banana and ginger treats help me offer a little soft energy without leaning on oily snacks. I keep each piece very small so his gut gets a gentle nudge instead of a big load all at once.
For the flavor and energy base, I like using a fine banana powder that gives natural sweetness and potassium support without sticky chunks . The powder disperses easily through the mix, which makes it simpler to keep every bite consistent in taste and intensity.
