Made with protein powder, frozen banana, ice cubes, unsweetened almond milk, and powdered peanut butter, this creamy “ice cream” is a delicious way to satisfy your peanut butter cravings while staying on track with your nutrition goals.
A Healthier Alternative
Peanut butter is undeniably delicious, but it’s important to note that it’s not the best source of protein. In fact, it’s primarily considered a fat source, as most of its calories come from fat. Additionally, a serving of peanut butter is minimal, making it easy to over consume and exceed your daily calorie goals. However, with this Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream, you can enjoy the flavor of peanut butter without the guilt. By incorporating protein powder and other nutritious ingredients, this ice cream provides a healthier alternative that allows you to indulge in your favorite flavors while staying on track with your nutritional goals.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream
Ice cream
- 1 ½ cups ice cubes
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 scoop of protein powder (I used a chocolate peanut butter flavor but vanilla or chocolate works too).
- 2 TBSP powdered peanut butter
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
Chocolate Shell
- 1 TBSP mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Ice Cream
- Combine all ingredients into a high-powered blender or food processor. *The mixture will be thick but it should blend together to reveal a soft serve ice cream texture without further freezing
Chocolate Shell
- Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on high for 1 minute stirring every 15 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate over the ice cream and watch as the chocolate transforms into a hard shell within seconds.
