Remember when I told you about NuVal, the nutritional scoring system that scores food on a scale of 1 to 100? Well, let’s give it up for plain Chobani Greek Yogurt for scoring a 94…that’s an A in my book!
Plain Chobani Greek Yogurt is one of my favorite go-to, high protein snacks. Right now I’m hooked on mixing in a little cinnamon and stevia right into the container and sometimes I’ll add vanilla protein powder to shake things up.
When I was visiting the Chobani Web site, I was thrilled to learn some new ways to enjoy Chobani. Melissa made the guacamole recipe found on their site a few weeks ago and said it was amazing. I was monkeying around with their Cho-bana Bread recipe and came up with…
Jo-nana Cho-bana Bread
- 1 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp Earth Balance Butter
- ½ cup natural applesauce (no sugar added)
- ¾ cup Splenda for Baking
- 2 large eggs (I used Egg Beaters)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large overripe bananas
- ½ cup Chobani® Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (not optional ;-))
Preparation
Grease large loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, stir protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Peel bananas. Cut each in half lengthwise and then cut each half into halves. Chop quartered bananas into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and Splenda into a smooth paste. Add applesauce and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add eggs and stir until incorporated.
Add dry mixture to wet ingredients, and mix well. Add chopped bananas, nuts and/or chocolate chips and Chobani®.
Bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes.
