Why these banana bites work as a post-workout snack

Ingredients
- 5 bananas
- 2 oz. vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp all-natural peanut butter
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash one banana until smooth. Stir in the vanilla Greek yogurt and the all-natural peanut butter until well combined. Set the mixture aside.
- Slice the remaining bananas into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet or baking tray.
- Spread an even amount of the peanut butter–yogurt mixture onto half of the banana slices. Top each filled slice with another banana slice to form a sandwich. If the filling seems too runny, add a little more peanut butter to thicken it and help the sandwiches stay together.
- Place the cookie sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana bites for a minimum of 2 hours, or until firm.
- Remove from the freezer and enjoy immediately as a cold post-workout treat. For an optional twist, dip each frozen banana bite in melted dark chocolate and return to the freezer until the chocolate sets.
Tips and variations
- Use plain Greek yogurt and a touch of vanilla extract if you prefer less added sugar.
- Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter if you need a nut-free or different-flavored option.
- For a crunchier texture, sprinkle a few chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes into the filling before assembling.
- To make them last longer, store banana bites in an airtight container or freezer bag and separate layers with parchment paper.
