Instructions
- Place the banana, cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder (if using), maple syrup (if using), and vanilla in a high powered blender or a food processor. Add any additional flavors (except chocolate chips).
- Blend until smooth and creamy—it will be very thick and at the beginning, you will need to stop and move everything around a few times. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle them in, then pulse a few times to combine.
- Pour into a loaf pan, then freeze until hard, about 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature to soften for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
Notes
- Nutritional information is calculated for vanilla protein ice cream, but the exact numbers will depend on the type of protein powder you use.
- TO MAKE IN A NINJA CREAMI: Pour the blended ice cream (except mix-ins) and freeze for 24 hours. Spin on the "Lite Ice Cream Setting." Make a hole down the center and add up to 1/4 cup mix-ins. Spin on the "Mix-Ins" setting. If it's firmer than you would like, add about 1 tablespoon milk and respin.
- TO STORE: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
