Banana Bread Protein Bites

There’s nothing like the aroma of freshly baked banana bread wafting through your kitchen.

But if you don’t have time to make banana bread from scratch and want a quick, delicious way to satisfy your banana craving, try these Banana Bread Protein Bites made with Vanilla Shakeology!

With only 8 ingredients and 10 minutes, you’ll be nibbling on a yummy (and convenient!) bite of banana bread goodness — without the baking and waiting.

Recipe Tips:

  • If you’re having trouble getting the dough to form by stirring, use clean hands to mix everything together.
  • This is a great recipe to make with brown, overripe bananas. If your banana isn’t super ripe, heat it in the microwave for 1 minute to get a softer texture and better flavor.
  • Swap finely chopped walnuts for chocolate chips, if desired.
