Ingredients: 

  • 6 very ripe bananas

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

  • 2 scoops Quest Peanut Butter Protein Powder*

Instructions: 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch slices and lay flat on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1-1/2 hours. Remove frozen bananas from the freezer and let set out for about 5 minutes while you set up your food processor or blender.

  • You want the bananas to softened just a bit, but still be frozen. Place the bananas in the food processor and pulse/blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Stir in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and protein powder.

  • Grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

  • Scoop the banana ice cream into each cup, filling each one almost full, then sprinkle the top of each cup with a few more mini chocolate chips.

  • Place the muffin pan in the freezer for an hour. Remove the pan from the freezer and pop each bite out with a knife.

  • Stack the banana ice cream bites in a freezer safe container with a lid, placing parchment paper between each layer of bites to keep them from sticking together.

  • When ready to eat, remove however many bites you want from the freezer container and let set out for a few minutes before eating.
