Banana Cream Bites
I’ve partnered with Premier Protein to bring y’all these Bananas & Cream Protein Bites. As always, all opinions are my own. Thanks so much for supporting the brands that keep this Srilankan Runnin!
Need a quick and easy breakfast you can munch on in traffic? Or, how about a filling and delicious snack to tide you over till dinner time? Well, that’s where these little five-ingredient, gluten-free, protein-packed, bites come in handy!
Forget the malls and coffee houses, lately, retail warehouse clubs are becoming my preferred hangout joints! I mean, how many places are there where you can have a gourmet lunch of samples for $0.00 – while still enjoying discount prices on just about EVERYTHING and good conversations?
Keeping that in mind, this past weekend my daughter and I headed to our neighborhood Sam’s Club. While we were there, we decided to grab us some samples of chocolate and caramel drizzled popcorn, that we happened on. However, the lady offering up the samples stopped us. With a very solemn expression, she asked us if we had tasted the popcorn yet. And, when we replied we hadn’t, she made us stop and taste how good the popcorn was right there in front of her. As soon as those popcorn pieces started to introduce themselves to our tasetbuds, she looked at us – oh so solemnly again – and asked us if we felt how good that popcorn was! And – I gotta admit – tasting that popcorn was a full blown sensory experience indeed!
Now, you might be wondering what that popcorn has to do with these bites and I gotta say – not a darn thing! However, when we were at Sam’s Club, we came across Premier Protein’s brand spanking new shake flavor: Bananas & Cream – and, one taste of this new shake flavor and y’all will FEEL how good it tastes – no lie!
I had some dehydrated banana chips at the house and decided to crumble these up and use them with Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream Shake in a portable, easy and delicious bite – along with some peanut butter, vanilla essence, and coconut flour. These bites are quite filling and I enjoyed a few of them for breakfast as well as after work one day. They can also be drizzled with chocolate – as my daughter suggested – and enjoyed as a dessert – either way, you will keep wanting just one more bite! 🙂

Love your protein packed recipes Shashi! Need to try these!
These protein bites would make the perfect pre or post workout snack! Love the banana cream and protein shake in here!Kelly
These look so delicious! I love snack bites!
I haven’t tried the new flavor yet but I would absolutely love to! Bananas are my favorite fruit!
I have not tried the Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream, but I would love to! Thanks for this chance 🙂
Shashi, you’re saying: they can be drizzled with chocolate. Wrong, Shashi, wrong. They have to be drizzled. Because peanut butter, bananas, and chocolate should always go together:)
Definitely a mouthwatering recipe you have here, yum!! I have not tried this yet but would love to 🙂

I have to admit…I’m not a peanut butter fan 🙁 Never have been. However, I do sacrifice myself from time to time and make peanut butter treats for my family. This is something they would totally love. And I would love that they are a healthy snack I am making them! That’s a double win!
I have not, but it looks good!
That popcorn lady and story were funny as was your passage into “I gotta say – not a darn thing!” LOL
Like your daughter, I’ll take a dozen with the chocolate drizzle please. What a great, easy recipe Shashi, thanks. 🙂
I have not tried them!
These look sooo tasty! I actually bought a box of the Premier Protein bars during our last warehouse store trip after seeing some of your recipes. They are fantastic and a big hit with the hubby! Can’t wait to check out their shakes next and make a batch of these little bites of banana yum 🙂
Bananas, chocolate, and [nuts]??!?! Basically my love language right there.These bites look fantastic, Shashi, and so perfectly poppable! I’m pretty sure there’s no way I’d be able to stop at just one
I have not tried it yet.
I don’t miss much about Orlando, but I do miss all the retail warehouse clubs! Our closest one here is about an hour and 1/2 away… needless to say I haven’t been since we moved here. womp womp. No free samples for me. lol. Anyways, LOOOOOOVE these protein bites, Shashi!! I have been eating protein bites a lot recently after I work out and I can not wait to add these to my rotation! Bananas and cream!! Yaaahhhss please! These pop-tastic little beauties look and sound beyond delish! Pinned! Cheers, friend! <3
