Vital Proteins Banana Nice Cream Recipe

I’ve partnered with Vital Proteins to bring you this post. All opinions remain my own.

Partnering with Vital Proteins has really got me out of my comfort zone when it comes to the kitchen! I recently made protein nice cream - ice cream made out of bananas and the Vital Proteins  Unflavored Organic Whey Protein! It was super easy to make with a blender, so I made 3 different flavors: 1) regular banana topped with almond, 2) matcha, and 3) strawberry. Recipe below:

Regular Nice Cream
Yields 2 servings

2 ripe bananas (cut and frozen)
1 scoop unflavored whey protein
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 handful of almonds

Matcha Nice Cream
Yields 2 servings

2 ripe bananas (cut and frozen)
1 scoop unflavored whey protein
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tsp matcha powder

Strawberry Nice Cream (turned out more like a smoothie...)
Yields 2 servings

2 ripe bananas (cut and frozen)
1 scoop unflavored whey protein
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup strawberries

Directions:
1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
2. Pulse the ingredients, occasionally scraping down the sides.
3. You're done once it looks like a thick puree!

I think my strawberry one turned out more melted because I didn't freeze the strawberries! But I didn't want them to be frozen blocks of strawberries, so it made a nice smoothie cup/bowl!
