Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large frozen ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (optional, for blending)
Instructions
- Place the frozen banana slices and protein powder into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Begin blending. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides frequently.
- Add the peanut butter. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it blends smoothly.
- Serve immediately for a soft ice cream texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Using very ripe bananas yields the sweetest results.
- The type of protein powder affects the final texture; whey or casein blends work well.
- For a different flavor, try swapping peanut butter for almond butter.
