How to make this Banana Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream

To make this ice cream, I first froze a few bananas. I peeled them, cut them in half, and put them in a ziploc bag. After 1 day in the freezer, I took out one of the bananas, and threw it in my mini cuisinart with a scoop of protein powder. That’s it! No liquid and no other ingredients.

I blended the two until it was smooth. At this point, the ice cream was a bit runny because of the blending, so I put the finished blend back into the freezer. Not for very long. Maybe one hour or less. Just until it started to get more solid, but not too solid I couldn’t scoop it out.

I like using protein powder to increase the protein in regular recipes. I’ve used it to make these simple protein powder crepes, and these AMAZING Protein powder bars!

And it works so well for making this 2 ingredient protein ice cream. If you like this recipe, check out my other protein ice cream recipes!
