    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.

    If you make this recipe let me know! You can leave a comment, rate the recipe, and don’t forget to tag a photo #vegaliciously on Instagram! Buon appetito!

      Greetings from Florida! I'm bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your
      site on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you provide here and can't wait
      to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how quick your
      blog loaded on my mobile .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G ..
      Anyhow, very good site!
