Chocolate Protein Nice Cream

Chocolate Protein Nice Cream – This sweet treat tastes just like chocolate ice cream but, made healthier and the extra boost of protein is great for an afternoon snack. Enjoy every spoonful!

Have you heard of “Nice Cream” ? If not, I will tell you what this wonderful treat is. Simply, it’s frozen fruit such as bananas with any add-Ins you like. Or, just the fruit itself. We love Banana Nice Cream. If you have been on this blog before, we have two recipes made with frozen bananas. One is made with peanut butter, yum! This one is made with protein powder for an added kick of healthy protein. It’s so easy to make and everyone will think they are eating yummy, creamy ice-cream. After making this, and you love it as much as we do in my family, share with your family and friends too!

Whirl until you have the consistency of soft serve ice-cream. Add the rest of the milk if needed to blend the bananas completely.
