Protein Packed Banana Bread

Diesen Beitrag gibt es auch auf: Deutsch

This Protein Packed Banana Bread is one of my favorite snacks; it's healthy, fluffy, super tasty and in this particular case, protein-rich. YUM! This blog post is sponsored by Alver, the company that produces the wonderful Chlorella protein powder that I used for this recipe!

This recipe is also super easy to prepare, just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, fill into a cake tin and bake for 50 minutes. YUM!

This banana bread is also free of refined sugar, in fact it is sweetened with maple syrup (which can be replaced by coconut sugar). YUM!

To add protein to this banana bread, I used chlorella powder (for those who don't know, chlorella is an alga). Chlorella provides protein without changing the taste of the cake, which is still absolutely delicious. For this recipe I used Golden Chlorella from Alver, a Swiss company that produces healthy and vegan food.
