Cravings Buster - Protein Banana Bread

So you've got a craving for something sweet, maybe something baked. You also, as luck would have it, are in need of a complex carb with a little bit of protein.

Enter the protein banana bread. 

A word to the wise: This stuff tastes good. It might be a good idea to cut it up into serving sizes and then individually wrap them in sandwich bags so that you only eat one at a time.
