Ingredients

  • 2-3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 scoop protein or collagen peptides powder, plain or vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Toppings Optional

  • Peanut butter
  • Chopped nuts
  • Chopped fresh or dried fruit
  • Coconut shreds

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
    Peel bananas and cut into 1 inch thick slices.
    In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, proteinpowder and vanilla extract.
    Take the banana slices and dip them, one at a timeinto the yogurt mixture. Then place them on the lined baking sheet.
    Once all of the banana slices have been coated, place them in the freezer for 1-2 hours to set.
    Once frozen, melt the chocolate and coconut oil for dipping.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Remove the bites and after checking they are firm and set, use two forks to hold each banana bite and one by one, dip into the melted chocolate and roll around until fully coated.
    Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 
    Place them back on the lined baking sheet and top them with your choice of toppings before the chocolate has set. Some fun toppings include: flaked salt, cinnamon, coconut shreds, chocolate chips, sprinkles or chopped nuts/seeds.
    Then chill until chocolate has set.
    Once chocolate is set and crisp, enjoy your homemade Banana Protein Bites.
