Chocolate Protein Ice Cream

frozen banana protein shake

I wasn’t going to post this recipe on the blog because I am not in love with the photos, BUT it got a lot of hoot and hollerin’ on the FFF faebook page, so what the heck! I’ve actually shared a similar recipe before on FFF called Healthy Chocolate Ice Cream, so it is sort of a repeat recipe, but with a twist! 

Whenever I make my “ice cream” at home, I use frozen banana as my base. I don’t have an ice cream maker, so this is the perfect (and healthy) way to do it! This time, I added some of my favorite Designer Whey Chocolate protein powder to up the protein stats. 

Topped with some mini dark chocolate chip and roasted peanuts. Now- that’s what I call a sundae. 

Here’s my other Chocolate Ice Cream recipe.

Don’t forget about my Peanut Butter Chip Soft-Serve.  

All three of these recipes would actually be quite a tasty summertime breakfast. That’s right, ice cream for breakfast. 

And now I leave you with some lunchtime fun from work yesterday.

How to make frozen banana protein shake

1. Place all ingredients into a small food processor and mix until fulffy. It took me about 1 minute total. I stopped one or two times to scrape the sides.
