Protein per servingapprox. 8 g
Ingredients
serves 4
2 ripe bananas
4 tbsp peanut butter (no added sugar or palm oil)
100 g dark chocolate (at least 70 % cocoa)
30 g roasted unsalted peanuts
4 lolly sticks or wooden skewers
Method
Peel the bananas and halve them crosswise. Slice each piece lengthways, fill with 1 tbsp peanut butter and fold back together.
Push a lolly stick into each piece from the cut end. Place the bananas on a plate lined with baking paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Finely chop the peanuts. Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it slowly over a warm water bath. Stir in half of the peanuts.
Coat the frozen bananas with the chocolate and immediately sprinkle with the remaining peanuts. The chocolate sets quickly on the cold banana.
Freeze for at least another hour. Let them thaw for about 5 minutes before eating.
The protein figure is a rough estimate based on average values for the ingredients. To find out how much protein you need per day, use theProtein calculator.
Tips
The riper the banana, the sweeter the ice lolly – no added sugar needed.
Chopped almonds or desiccated coconut also work instead of peanuts.
