Recipe: Frozen Energy Treats

A summer favorite with my family, these healthy frozen treats are one of the few snacks I'll freely give my kids when they come begging for "sweets"!

These are very easy to make.  Check back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday to see pictures of little Christine making them.

Frozen Energy Treats

Combine all these ingredients in a bowl:

2 mashed, ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 pouches (or servings) of chocolate protein powder or meal replacement shake powder
1/2 cup Grape Nuts
1/2 cup peanuts, optional

Stir until all the ingredients have become thoroughly combined.  It will have a slimy texture for now. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.  Ladle about 1/4 cup mixture into each cup. Depending on the size of the bananas, you'll end up with 8-12 treats.  They will have a hard, creamy, crunchy consistency when frozen.

Note:  This is a forgiving recipe.  It's easily doubled, halved and stretched with extra bananas. It's a great way to get rid of those pesky overripe bananas that seem to multiply in the summer time.

Enjoy!
