These Banana Split Protein Balls taste just like a good ole' banana split and are the perfect afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana mashed with a fork
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon mineral salt
- ½ cup cashew butter
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil (liquid)
- 2 servings vanilla protein powder
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup fresh or dried cherries chopped finely

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, vanilla, salt, cashew butter, honey, coconut oil and vanilla protein powder.
- Stir in oats, chocolate chips, cherries and sprinkles, mixing well.
- Freeze mixture for 30-45 minutes until very cold to help mixture to solidify for rolling.
- When mixture is very chilled, roll into 1-inch balls and transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Mixture should yield 24-26 balls.
- Top each bite with sprinkles. Freeze an additional 30 minutes then enjoy!
- Let bites come to room temperature for 3-4 minutes before enjoying. Keep bites stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
