Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed until smooth

1 cup brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

1 cup vanilla protein powder (use chocolate for an indulgent twist)

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor

¼ cup almond butter (or substitute with creamy peanut butter)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt to enhance flavors

Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the smoothly mashed bananas with the cooled brewed coffee. Mix thoroughly until the banana and coffee are fully incorporated into a uniform mixture.

    Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the protein powder, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt to create a dry mixture that is free of lumps.

      Combine Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the banana-coffee blend. Stir continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon until the components come together to form a thick, cohesive batter.

        Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth and creamy.

          Add Toppings (Optional): If you're adding texture, gently fold in mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts at this stage for a delightful crunch.

            Form the Bombs: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Arrange the protein bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

              Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bombs to freeze for at least 1-2 hours, until they are completely solidified.

                Store & Enjoy: Once frozen, transfer the Mocha Banana Protein Bombs to an airtight container. Keep them stored in the freezer, and enjoy them directly as a quick snack or a revitalizing post-workout treat!
