Easy Protein Powder Ice Cream Recipe
Description
The Easy Protein Powder Ice Cream Recipe starts by adding vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and coconut milk to a blender, then incorporating sliced frozen bananas for a creamy base. Blending creates a smooth mixture that can be consumed immediately as a soft serve or transferred to a silicone loaf pan for firmer freezing.
Stirring in mini chocolate chips adds a pleasant crunch and chocolate flavor contrast within the smooth banana and peanut butter mixture. Freezing for 20 to 40 minutes firms the dessert enough to scoop, which can be served in gluten-free cones or bowls.
This recipe is versatile since the protein powder flavor can be swapped (e.g., chocolate) to vary the taste. It is best eaten on the day of preparation for optimal texture; leftovers should be thawed at room temperature briefly before scooping but will be less creamy. Serving in bowls is recommended when reheating affects texture.
Ingredients
- 4 banana frozen
- 2 tbs peanut butter plus more for topping, natural
- ¼ cup vegan vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbs coconut milk
- 2 tbs mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add protein, peanut butter and cream to bottom of blender.
- Slice the frozen bananas to make it easier & add them to the blender.
- Process until smooth using a tamper as needed.
- Spread the mixture into an 8x4 silicone loaf pan and smooth it out.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and additional peanut butter if using.
- Enjoy as it or freeze for 20-40 minutes if you want to scoop it into a cone.
Notes
- The ice cream firms after about 45 minutes in the freezer, suitable for scooping into cones.
- For soft serve texture, eat immediately after blending or freeze only for 20 minutes before serving in bowls.
- Use chocolate-flavored protein powder instead of vanilla to make chocolate protein ice cream.
- Best consumed the day it is made; if storing and reheating, thaw at room temperature 5-10 minutes before scooping.
- Leftover ice cream is less creamy when served after thawing and is better eaten from a bowl.
