A Welcomed Accident: Healthy PB&J Ice Cream!
I recently returned from the gym and wanted to make a protein shake. I grabbed couple of frozen bananas, some un-sweetend almond milk, & my VEGA Sport Performance Protein powder. My previous smoothie I made was a bit too thin for my liking, so I decided to be extra careful when adding the almond milk this time. What I soon discovered was that by reducing the amount of liquid, the bananas and powder blended so beautifully, it resulted in a silky smooth, ice cream-like texture. I sampled it and woah…
It was delicious, but it was missing something. Peanut butter.
I grabbed a spoonful of PB and plopped it in the blender. After a second taste, it was ready perfect. The berry flavor of the protein powder, the smooth roasted taste of the peanut butter, and the subtle sweetness of the frozen bananas melded into a beautiful symphony reminiscent of the beloved PB&J sandwich. The best part? NO GUILT! This protein packed frozen treat contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners & has a whopping 29 grams of protein. Dare I say it? You could even eat this for breakfast.

Protein Packed PB&J Ice Cream
2 frozen bananas, chopped
1 tablespoon of smooth natural peanut butter
1 scoop of your favorite berry flavored protein powder (VEGA Sport)
unsweetened almond milk, to thin.
Place the frozen bananas into a high-powered blender and drizzle in a small amount of almond milk.
Blend on a low speed until the bananas start to break down and become smooth. (You may need the assistance of the blender’s agitator, or a spatula, to help the banana chunks get to the blade.)
Add the protein powder and peanut butter and blend (now on a medium speed) to incorporate, scraping down the sides often.
Carefully drizzle a little more almond milk (if necessary) to reach a desired, ice cream-like consistency.
EAT & NEVER SHARE.

Now I wonder… what other flavors could be used to create a healthy protein-packed ice cream?
