Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C) or the lowest setting possible.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, bananas, applesauce, lemon juice, vanilla protein powder, and honey. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more honey, if necessary.

Step 5

Pour the blended fruit mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure the layer is about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 3 to 4 hours, checking occasionally, until the fruit leather is dry to the touch but still slightly tacky.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the fruit leather to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, peel the fruit leather off the sheet and use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut it into strips.

Step 9

Roll each strip in parchment paper to prevent sticking and store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
