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 other 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 after your first spoonful, I’m sure you will love it as much as we do in my family, share with your family and friends too!

Below are the three simple and easy steps to make this creamy dreamy chocolate protein nice cream
Directions:
- Using small food processor(this one is a 3 cup, great for other recipes too) or high speed blender,(I love this blender) add frozen chopped bananas with about half of the milk. Whirl until you have the consistency of soft serve ice-cream. Add the rest of the milk if needed to blend the bananas completely.
- Add in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa and carob powder. Whirl again until all is combined. Add sweetener if using. Whirl once more.
- Scoop into dessert dishes and sprinkle with colored sprinkles or pour into container and freeze for 30 minutes for a more firmer nice cream texture.
Enjoy the creamy, cool, deliciousness!
