Vegan Choco-Banana Chip Ice Cream
ingredients
3 bananas
2 scoops Gnarly Vegan Chocolate Protein
1 Tablespoon almond butter
1 Tablespoon raw cacao nibs
Directions
- Peel and chop the bananas into ½ inch thick slices.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread banana slices evenly across the surface. If possible, don’t let slices overlap. Place banana slices in the freezer for 30-45 minutes (or as long as you want).
- When you’re ready to make your ice cream, remove bananas from the freezer and place in a food processor or blender. Toss in Gnarly Vegan Chocolate Protein Powder, almond butter, and cacao nibs. Blend until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
- Place your ice cream in a bowl, top with your favorite mix-ins, and enjoy!
Makes 1 serving.
