I have a simply delicious simple little treat to be shared today and I’m ALL ABOUT IT! Frozen Chocolate Covered Banana Protein Bites, like a mini ice cream bar, but much simpler and much healthier.

These treats are so easy to make with only 6 core ingredients and zero baking, nothing not to love! Frozen banana bites with your favorite assortment of toppings, covered in chocolate, and finished with a dusting of flaky sea salt.

Let your taste buds run wild with fun toppings. Peanut butter, pretzels, honey, coffee, coconut, jam, and cinnamon sugar are just some of the ideas I came up with. But really, the options are endless. Create your favorite combination. These bites are so delicious, they are the perfect healthy any time treat! All you have to do is cut up ripe bananas, dip them in a protein yogurt mixture, freeze them and then coat them in melted dark chocolate. It’s that easy!

This “recipe” is hardly a set of instructions and really more of an insistence that you NEED these in your life today. I bet you even have all of the ingredients waiting for you in your kitchen already. The chocolate coating is simple – chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil mixed in (this helps get the chocolate extra creamy and runny for dipping).

The banana bites are then dipped into the chocolate and topped with nuts or sprinkles if desired. I love putting bits of peanuts on mine because it gives the treat almost a snickers tasty to it that is SO so satisfying to me! AND that’s it. As I mentioned, these are great stored in the freezer so that they serve as a little (n)ice cream bite when I need one 🙂

They are the perfect healthy snack or dessert – easy to make, no bake and kid friendly (adult friendly too). They satisfy your sweet tooth, but don’t contain any added sugar or sweeteners.

Why you will love these frozen banana yogurt protein bites:

Nutrient-rich – made with real, whole food ingredients
Protein-rich and low in sugar
Healthy and delicious
Great to meal prep ahead

I LOVE making freezer desserts! They are perfect because they stay fresh in the freezer and are easy to grab at a moment’s notice! This classic recipe seriously couldn’t be easier. It only requires simple ingredients (that you might already have on hand) and can be prepped in just 15 minutes. The best part about this recipe is that these frozen bites last for up to 3 months in the freezer when stored in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.

This recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and salty and one you can feel good about enjoying! Plus, it has healthy fats (coconut oil) and has great complex carbs (and potassium!) from the bananas for the best healthy dessert recipe. The perfect bite any time of day!

I also love sprinkling a little sea salt on top to really take the sweet and salty combo to the next level! This healthy recipe is also a great way to use up extra bananas.

A classic treat! These Frozen Banana Bites are the best healthy sweet bite! They are perfect for curbing your afternoon sweet tooth or delicious for dessert! You can’t go wrong with this freezer snack!
