Description

Creamy and satisfying high-protein ice cream made with frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder for a quick and balanced frozen treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Ensure bananas are fully frozen before starting.
  2. Add frozen banana slices, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey if using, and salt to a high-speed blender.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup milk to begin blending.
  4. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing speed until smooth. Add additional milk one tablespoon at a time if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
  5. Blend until completely smooth with no chunks remaining.
  6. For a firmer texture, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes.
  7. Scoop and serve immediately for soft serve texture or after brief freezing for firmer scoops.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas before freezing for natural sweetness.
  • Add milk gradually to control thickness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping if fully frozen.
