Protein Ice Cream
Report
This healthy protein ice cream uses frozen bananas as the base and can easily be made into two different flavors - chocolate or vanilla. It's vegan and you'll love how creamy and delicious it is!

Ingredients
Chocolate
- 2 frozen bananas, chopped into chunks
- ¼ cup dairy-free milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 coop (25 grams) chocolate protein powder (I used Nuzest)
- ½ Tablespoon chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Vanilla
- 2 frozen bananas, chopped into chunks
- ¼ cup dairy-free milk (I used almond milk)
- 1 coop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder (I used Nuzest)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Chocolate
- Place bananas, almond milk, almond butter, cocoa powder and protein powder into a food processor or high speed blender.
- Pulse/process until smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-4 minutes. You may need to turn off the motor and stir the mixture a couple times while processing.
- Add in cacao nibs or chocolate chips (if using) and pulse once more.
- Spoon ice cream into a bowl and enjoy! If you want to be able to scoop the ice cream you can pour it into a loaf pan lined with parchment and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Once hard, use an ice cream scoop to scoop it out and enjoy. Ice cream can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes
- Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite ice cream toppings to this protein ice cream. I love adding chocolate chips, berries and/or nuts.
