You’ll love these bite-sized frozen Post-Workout Banana Bites layered with creamy peanut butter mixed with greek yogurt! Tastes even better dipped in chocolate!
Looking for a delicious post-workout snack??
Of course you are, it’s the beginning of the New Year and everyone just joined the gym. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that New Year’s resolutioners (as I like to call them) are motivated to get their booties back in the gym and make a healthy change in their lives…but it takes me over an hour to get a freakin’ elliptical machine!! I can’t complain though, it’s such a great feeling to see the gym packed with so many new faces and I only hope they continue on this healthy path, I truly do.
I just wish they’d share…..just one.
So now what are these mini delights?? Well only the best thing my lips have tasted since I gave up my beloved Reeses peanut butter cups. No unfortunately chocolate isn’t included, but hey, dipping is always welcomed! These are such a great little post-workout treats as they are packed with tons of fiber, protein and little fat to provide long-lasting energy as well as restoring and repairing your muscles after a long workout. They also happen to be only 27 calories per piece!
The filling is a mixture of mashed banana, vanilla Greek yogurt and all-natural peanut butter in between two slices of banana. Place them all on a cookie sheet and pop them in your freezer prior to heading to the gym and you’ve got the perfect snack upon your return home! Oh and they just so happen to taste crazy delicious too, so that’s of course an added bonus.

You can never go wrong with peanut butter and bananas!

Protein powder on top is a great idea! These bites are perfect post workout 🙂
What a yummy treat! A tiny drizzle of chocolate, and you have the perfect dessert 🙂
Hope you had a great holiday!
These will bowl over my daughter – she is really into working out, and her favorite fruits (grapes, bananas, etc) get put in the freezer. I’ve also had gastric bypass surgery so I”m keeping my calories down and concentrating my protein. The greek yogurt is great for that. Although a very light drizzle of dark chocolate would never go awry here! Thanks for the tips – will be checking out the site more often!
These are too cute for words! You’re a genius my friend 🙂
These look so yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!
