Homemade Protein Ice Cream

Ingredients

Frozen bananas

4, peeled and sliced

Almond milk

1/2 cup (adjust for desired creaminess)

Protein powder

1 scoop (your choice of flavor)

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Optional toppings

Berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)

1/2 cup, for topping

Nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)

1/4 cup, chopped, for topping

Chocolate chips

1/4 cup, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Peel and slice the frozen bananas and place them in a blender.
2. Add the protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the blender.
3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Once blended, taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or flavor as desired by adding more vanilla extract or a touch of sweetener if needed.
5. Serve the protein ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an hour for a firmer consistency.
6. Top with your favorite toppings such as berries, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips before serving.
