[RECIPE] Choc-Chip Protein Ice Cream

Dairy-free and packed with protein – it’s the ideal combination for a less sinful treat.

Whether you use it to reward yourself after a hard training session while still meeting your post-exercise recovery needs or simply indulge in a cooling snack on a hot summer’s day, this recipe fits nicely into a balanced lifestyle.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sliced bananas, frozen
• 2 tbsp cacao powder
• ¼ cup Biogen Iso-Whey, Choc Brownie flavour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp almond milk
• ¼ cup crushed dark chocolate chips

Cacao powder contains more than 300 different chemical compounds, including beneficial flavonoids which offer powerful antioxidant effects. It is also a source of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, magnesium, sulfur and EFAs.

Method

• Place the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. The consistency should be thick, but if it is too thick you can always add a splash of milk.
• Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or proceed to the next step for firmer ice cream.
• Line a bread tine with parchment paper and pour the ice cream mixture into it. Freeze for 2 hours to set and then enjoy at your leisure.

Smart swap idea: Substitute Biogen Iso-Whey with Rage Impact Whey Death By Chocolate if you’re looking to bulk up.
