This sweet treat is perfect for National Ice Cream Day on July 21. The chocolate protein powder helps you feel full for longer, while maple syrup and bananas add a hint of sweetness.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups frozen sliced bananas (3 bananas)

• 4 tablespoons chocolate protein powder

• 3 tablespoons peanut butter powder

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• ½ cup unsweetened oat milk

• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Cacao nibs and crushed toasted peanuts for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place bananas, protein powder, peanut butter powder and cocoa in a large food processor. Process on High, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, until the banana slices are broken up, about 1 minute.

2. With the processor running, pour oat milk, maple syrup and vanilla through the food chute; process until smooth, about 1 minute.

3. Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe 9–by-5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1 hour. Sprinkle with cacao nibs and peanuts before serving, if desired.

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Makes 4 servings.
