Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Ice Cream

I love ice cream...too much. In the summer months, I could go for ice cream every single day. The thing is, ice cream is high in calories, sugar and fat so it is not something that I should be eating every day. I wanted to make something that would be healthy, filling, satisfy my sweet tooth and taste delicious. The chocolate peanut butter banana protein ice cream was then born. Wow, what a title- but all of the ingredients are so good that I didn't want to leave any out of the title.

This "ice cream" is only made with bananas, chocolate protein powder and powdered peanut butter. I used powdered peanut butter and was worried that it may taste too healthy but it didn't at all. This ice cream is actually completely healthy though so it could actually be eaten for breakfast too. Ice cream for breakfast = a win!



Ingredients: 
3 bananas, frozen in slices
1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Directions:
1. Place frozen banana slices in a food processor and puree until smooth.
2. Add in the powdered peanut butter and chocolate protein powder and continue to process.
3. Serve right away or place in a container and freeze.


*Tip: if you freeze it for about an hour, you can scoop it out like ice cream a lot easier.


This ice cream turned out amazing. It is the perfect treat without being too indulgent. It had a very whipped and airy consistency; almost like whipped topping. I love banana soft serve ice cream which I have been making for years. Highly recommend!
