Tips & Variations
The riper the banana, the sweeter and more moist the loaf. Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal and reduce the need for added sugar.
Mix until just combined. Overmixing can make the loaf dense. A few lumps in the batter are fine.
Ovens vary. Start checking at 45 minutes with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's done. If not, give it another 5–10 minutes.
Swap semi-skimmed milk for unsweetened oat milk or almond milk, and use a dairy-free spread. Check the Formula 1 Free From range for a dairy-free shake option.
Add a scoop of Herbalife Protein Drink Mix to the batter to increase the protein content per slice. This will slightly alter the texture — add a splash more milk if the batter feels too thick.
Omit the coconut sugar entirely — the banana and Formula 1 Banana Cream provide natural sweetness. This can reduce calories per slice by approximately 10–15 kcal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories are in a slice of Herbalife Banana Loaf Bread?
Each of the 8 slices contains approximately 183 kcal. This is based on the standard recipe using Herbalife Protein Bake Mix, Formula 1 Banana Cream, semi-skimmed milk, reduced fat spread, one banana, one egg, and 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar. All figures are approximate — check current product labels for exact nutritional information.
How much protein does this banana loaf contain?
Each slice contains approximately 11.5g of protein, making this a genuinely high-protein baked snack. The protein comes primarily from the Herbalife Protein Bake Mix and Formula 1 Banana Cream. For context, a standard slice of shop-bought banana bread typically contains 2–4g of protein — this recipe delivers significantly more as part of a calorie-controlled diet.
Is this banana loaf suitable for vegans?
The standard recipe is not vegan as it contains an egg and semi-skimmed milk. However, you can make a vegan-friendly version by substituting the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, left for 5 minutes), using unsweetened oat milk or almond milk instead of semi-skimmed, and choosing a dairy-free spread. Check that your Formula 1 flavour is suitable for vegans — the Free From range may be a good option.
