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! 🙂

I have not tried the bananas and cream but I would love to. I am a banana fanatic. I loce their vanilla also.
I haven’t had Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream yet! These protein balls sound amazing though! I have had their chocolate and strawberry though and it was delicious as well. 🙂
huhu shashi! 😀
Your protein balls look smashing. The crumbled banana chips idea is great too, they must be enhancing the flavor. I can imagine munching on your banana cream protein bites.
I haven’t tried this flavor yet but I do love the vanilla
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

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 🙂
@tisonlyme143
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
I have not tried these. Healthy food that looks so bad for you. I love it!! Count me in to try!
I have never tried this product but it sounds delicious and it’s so much easier to drink protein drinks when they are delicious because I’ve tried other brands and they weren’t good.
I have never tried their drinks but I have their protein bars and they are pretty good.
I have not yet tried Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream
I have not tried Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream yet. I am looking forward to trying it.
I don’t believe I’ve ever felt how good popcorn was. I need to visit Sam’s Club more often! 🙂 These protein bites look really good — loads of nutritious flavor. What we all need! Thanks so much.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I love their Strawberry flavor, so I’d love to try this!Thanks!
I have not tried it yet, but it sound delicious.

These bad boys are THE perfect post-workout treat. I need to make ’em happen in my kitchen asap.
Thanks for the great recipe my friend!
They sure do look delicious, they must taste delicious.
I haven’t tried Premier Protein’s Bananas and Cream yet, but I’d like to.
I have been trying a lot of protein shakes here lately, but I must admit these are new. Would love to sample this product. Please let me win!
Few ingredients for such a tasty bite! Love it, especially with some chocolate drizzled on top 😉 !
This flavor sounds amazing! I’d happily guzzle down a protein drink that tastes like bananas and cream 🙂 Or, just eat these bites, which look AWESOME!
I haven’t tried this flavor yet, but seriously this was my favorite breakfast as a kid and still a huge comfort food. having a protein version would be amazing!
I haven’t tried this yet, but I love Premier Protein products. They’re shakes are fantastic! Thanks for the chance to win!
Quick, easy and healthy! What is not to like about these little protein bites. Mornings are just such a rush in our house with everyone trying to get off to work and school and most days just grabbing something simple that you can nibble on at the bus stop like your bananas cream protein bites are the perfect solution. Pinning!
Anything banana is just so comforting! What a great protein snack!
Mouthwatering 5-ingredient protein bites… They look like scrumptious profiteroles but with a plus — they are good for our health and much easier to prepare.
Gurrrrrl — you and me, we gotta hang out at the retail warehouse together. Free eats. And good ones too. I love good popcorn. I am SO in. And these protein bites. And this drizzled chocolate. Woohoo. You know I love the chocolate. It’s only Tuesday and already it feeling like the weekend! Thank you Shashi!! XO
Throw those in a tub of ice cream and park your butt on the couch and watch a few chick flicks. Yep. Sounds like a dream come true to me!
I’d love to have a batch of these on hand to snack on!
HA!! Yes, you can sure get enough samples at the warehouses to fill up–but these bites help you fuel up and looks so much better!
Hahaha…I’m totally right there with ya on the lunch at Sam’s Club, Shashi. Laura and I always joke that we should go on a lunch date to Sam’s Club on the weekends. And the best time to go is during the holidays…or better yet…the day before the Super Bowl. There are so many tasting carts that you can’t even get down the aisles. It requires one circle just to scout everything out so you can go back in the proper order. Appetizers. Main courses. Desserts. Speaking of desserts, I could down about 3 or 10 of these banana cream bites. What a fun idea! And no bake at that! 🙂
I would like to try this at home! Love bananas 🙂
you said bites and I”m there! love the creamy banana version. great idea! as always
I love that these only have a few ingredients in them!! YUM!
That must’ve been some popcorn, Shashi! And that samples person took her job VERY seriously. I dig that!
I also dig protein wherever I can get it, especially where there’s a chocolate drizzle on top. Yay!
Wow! These bites look sensational, Shashi. Even though I don’t workout but these bars are so so delicious that I actually want to workout to enjoy them! 🙂 YUMMY!
They look great and I love how versatile they are – breakfast, snack or dessert! They certainly wouldn’t last long. Yummed!
Perfect for my post workout treat!
