🍌 A Better Option Than Ice Cream: High-Protein Banana "Nice Cream"

Let’s be honest — ice cream is amazing. But the sugar, heavy cream, and additives? Not so much.

If you’re trying to eat clean, fuel recovery, or just avoid that post-dessert bloat, it’s worth having a smarter option in your freezer.

Enter: Banana Protein Nice Cream — a creamy, naturally sweet, and ridiculously simple frozen dessert that’s dairy-free, customizable, and packed with nutrients.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen

• 1 scoop vanilla (or chocolate) protein powder

• 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

• Optional add-ins:

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp cocoa powder

  • Dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for topping

    
    

🍦 Instructions

1. Freeze Your Bananas Slice ripe bananas and freeze them for at least 3–4 hours (overnight is best). The riper the banana, the sweeter the end result.

2. Blend It Up Add frozen banana slices, protein powder, and 1 tbsp of milk to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a bit more milk if needed to help it blend — but keep it thick!

3. Customize Toss in your optional ingredients (nut butter, cocoa, cinnamon) and pulse to mix.

4. Serve Immediately Scoop into a bowl and top with your favorite healthy extras: a sprinkle of granola, chopped nuts, or a few dark chocolate chips. Eat right away like soft-serve or freeze for 30–60 minutes for a firmer texture.
