Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup almond butter

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for coating)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/2 inch thick coins. Lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes until the banana slices are firm.

    Make the Protein Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond milk, almond butter, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), and sea salt. Stir well until you have a smooth and thick batter.

      Coat the Banana Coins: Remove the frozen banana coins from the freezer. Dip each coin into the protein mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. You can use a fork to lift and dip them effectively. Return the coated coins to the baking sheet quickly to prevent thawing.

        Freeze Again: Once all the banana coins are coated, place them back in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set the protein coating.

          Melt the Chocolate: While the coated coins are in the freezer, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

            Final Chocolate Coating: Once the protein-coated banana coins are set, remove them from the freezer again. Dip each coin into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the chocolate-coated coins back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

              Final Freeze: Once all coins are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, transfer the Frozen Chocolate Banana Protein Coins to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Simply grab a piece whenever you're in the mood for a sweet, healthy treat!
