    Lemon butterfly pea flower protein bites are easy to make with just tea, bananas and a sweetener. This healthy frozen snack can be made in less than 30 minutes and is high in protein and fiber.

    Like my other fruit protein snacks, blueberry protein bites, chocolate protein bites and carrot protein bites, this no bake snack is easy to make in a mold or mini cupcake pan.

    Why You'll Love These

    Quick & easy protein snack. The combo of beans and bananas make this snack creamy and easy to make. No bake, just blend and freeze.

    Beautiful color. The butterfly pea flower tea coloring makes the snack fun and whimsical. And the tea has nutritional aspects.

    Perfect for all diets. Using dairy free milk makes this snack dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, grain-free and high in protein.

    Ingredients

    Butterfly Pea Flower Tea. I made it with a tea bag.
    Bananas. Frozen is best.
    White beans. Canned, organic, no salt.
    Milk.
    I sometimes add baobab powder to boost immunity and add a citrus flavor. Or lemon juice works.

    See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Preparations. Chop and freeze the bananas the night before.

    Step 4: Pour into molds or mini cupcake cups and freeze for 30 minutes or until they can be removed from molds.

    These butterfly pea flower tea protein bites last 3 months in the freezer.

    Instructions
     

    Prep

    • Chop and freeze the bananas the night before.
      Remove frozen bananas from freezer at least 20 minutes before making recipe so they can thaw a little.

    Day of Recipe

    • Brew the butterfly pea flower tea by adding a tea bag to hot water. Add lemon juice to turn the blue color more purple.
      1 cup boiling water, ¼-1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 butterfly pea flower tea bag

    Make Bites

    • Add cooled tea, bananas, beans, and milk to a blender.
      ½ can (15oz/425gms) white beans, 3 bananas, ¼-1/2 cup milk, ½ cup brewed butterfly pea flower tea (recipe above), 3 tablespoon baobab powder
    • Pour into molds or mini cupcake cups and freeze for 30 minutes or until they can be removed from molds.

    Storage

    Notes

    Add a bit more milk if the mixture is not pourable enough to get it into small molds - it all depends on how big your bananas were, and how thick your choice of milk is.
    *Use paper-lined mini cupcake pans if you don't have a small mold.
