Vanilla Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream

If you don’t have an ice cream maker (we know we don’t!), this is the perfect (and healthy) way to make some guilt-free ice-cream!

Protein ice cream has quickly become a favorite among bodybuilders and athletes looking for a healthier way to satisfy their sweet tooth.

Compared with regular ice cream, our version of ice cream contains significantly fewer calories and a MUCH HIGHER amount of protein per serving.

Made with simple ingredients like bananas, coconut milk yogurt, Elevate protein powder, and dairy-free chocolate chips so you may indulge without cheating!

Ingredients:

• 2 frozen bananas
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1tbsp chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 scoops Elevate Vanilla Milkshake Protein

Instructions: 

1. Place frozen banana slices, coconut yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract into a high-speed food processor or blender.
2. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes stopping to scrape the sides every so often.
3. Remove from blender and place in a bowl.
4. Add dairy-free chocolate chips and mix with a spoon.
5. Option to eat immediately or to transfer to a parchment-lined bread pan to freeze for later.
6. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours so that it hardens enough to scoop like ice cream, but isn’t too hard where you can’t scoop it.
