Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8½" x 4½" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed banana, applesauce, almond milk, Greek yogurt and eggs(hand mixer recommended).
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar alternative, water and lemon juice.
Add to wet mixture and mix.
In another bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, unflavored protein powder, vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and baking powder.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder and gluten from wheat flour will make the bread dense.
Transfer batter to baking pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, covering with a foil tent after 40 minutes.
A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 40 minutes.
Icing:
In a small bowl, stir cashew butter, milk, vanilla and sweetener.
Spread over cooled loaf and slice.
