About This Recipe
1.4 million people watched me make this. I still think about that. It’s a frozen chocolate bar made from things I already had in the kitchen — banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, rice cakes — pressed into a mold and frozen for two hours. It tastes like a proper chocolate bar, has 38 grams of protein in the whole batch, and costs a fraction of any store-bought protein bar. This is the recipe that made people start taking my page seriously.
Why These Ingredients
Rice cakes — crumbled they form the base and give the bar its structure. They absorb the moisture from the yogurt and banana as it freezes, creating a dense, chewy texture that holds together when you slice it.
Banana — adds natural sweetness and helps bind everything together. The riper the better — a very ripe banana means you won’t need any added sweetener.
Greek yogurt — keeps the bar moist and creamy rather than dry. It also adds protein and helps everything stick together before freezing.
Protein powder — blends seamlessly into the mixture. Use chocolate or vanilla flavor — both work well here.
Dark chocolate + nuts — folded in at the end for texture. The chocolate melts slightly as everything freezes together and the nuts add crunch in every bite.
💡Bar falling apart when you slice it? It needs more time in the freezer. Two hours is the minimum — if your freezer runs warm, give it three. Let it sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
