Chocolate and Banana. A flavor combination loved by many - now add some milk, ice, and protein to it and you've got a cold, delicious bowl of healthy ice cream. The banana not only adds flavor but also creates a smooth and creamy texture. A full serving of this cold treat packs on 14.6g protein! Talk about a perfect post-workout treat!
This easy and rich protein ice cream is loaded with one of my favorite chocolate protein powders - Lean Body for Her chocolate whey. I used 5 scoops in the recipe, which is a ton!! But you honestly would NEVER know it's a healthy version of a all-time favorite summer treat. Enjoy!

1 cup unsweetened
chocolate almond milk

very large blender.

all ingredients get blended well.
4. Spoon ice cream into a 2-quart container and place in the
freezer for at least 2 hours.
5. If ice cream is completely frozen, allow it to sit at
room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Top with chocolate
chips if desired.

What brand of Chocolate milk did or do you use?
ReplyDeleteI use SILK unsweetened chocolate almond milk
DeleteCould you use maybe 2-3 scoops instead of 5 scoops of protein (and what'd you replace it with)?
ReplyDeleteYou probably can. It really depends on the protein powder you use, also. I would add an extra banana to replace the thickness you will miss from decreasing the amount of protein powder.
DeleteI find that adding a bit of glycerine helps keep protein ice cream (and protein pudding pops) from freezing too hard
