Description
Bright, creamy, and satisfyingly rich, this 4-ingredient protein ice cream tastes like dessert but counts as a high-protein snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g frozen bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 60 g protein powder (about 2 scoops)
- 120 ml milk (1/2 cup)
- 30 g nut butter (2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Slice frozen bananas into 1–2 cm pieces and freeze until solid (at least 4 hours or overnight).
- Let the frozen banana slices sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to loosen surface frost.
- Add frozen bananas, protein powder, milk, and nut butter to a blender; blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add up to 30 ml more milk and pulse, then transfer to a container and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm.
Notes
For a creamier texture, consider adding ¼ tsp xanthan gum or 1 tbsp powdered milk for stability. Serve with fresh berries or a warm espresso for contrast.
