Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into small rounds.
Place the banana slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
In a blender, combine the frozen bananas, vanilla protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup.
Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or add a little more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Transfer the blended mixture into a container and fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips if using.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up the ice cream.
Scoop the ice cream into bowls, garnish with extra nuts or chocolate chips if desired, and serve immediately.
