When it comes to creating Frozen Mocha Banana Smoothie Bites, using silicone molds or ice cube trays is highly recommended. Silicone molds come in various shapes and sizes, offering the flexibility to create fun and appealing bite-sized treats. They are especially beneficial because they allow for easy removal of the frozen bites without the risk of breaking, which can happen with traditional plastic molds.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled

1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1 cup granola or crushed nuts (for optional coating)

Chocolate chips (optional, for extra texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana Mixture: In a high-powered blender, add the ripe bananas, chilled brewed coffee, Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well combined.

    Taste Test: Once blended, take a moment to taste the mixture. If it's not as sweet as you'd like, add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again to incorporate the sweetness.

      Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the smooth mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays. Fill each cavity about three-quarters full to allow for expansion while freezing.

        Add Coating (Optional): For a delightful crunchy topping, sprinkle granola or crushed nuts over the tops of each filled mold before placing them in the freezer.

          Freeze: Transfer the molds to the freezer and allow the smoothie bites to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Unmold and Store: Once fully frozen, gently pop the smoothie bites out of the molds and place them into an airtight container. These can be stored in the freezer for up to one month.

              Serve: Enjoy your Frozen Mocha Banana Smoothie Bites straight from the freezer whenever you need a quick, nutritious snack. If you opted to add chocolate chips, be mindful that they may soften slightly, creating a deliciously rich coating on your bites!
