Serving Size: 3/4 cup
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 6 hours (including freezing time)
Nutrition Facts: 203 calories / 33g carbs / 11g protein / 3g fat
Ingredients:
- 4 medium (492g) ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
- 10 tablespoons (65g)“PB2” peanut butter powder
- ½ cup (120g) water
- Optional: 2 tbsps (30g) mini chocolate chips
Special Equipment:
- High-powered blender or food processor
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the PB2 powder with water until you achieve a consistency that is similar to yogurt (slightly runnier than regular peanut butter).
- Blend the peanut butter powder and frozen bananas on high speed until smooth and creamy. This may take up to 5 minutes (see recipe notes for troubleshooting tips).
- Scrape the nice cream mixture into a freezer-safe dish. Add your preferred toppings!
- At this point the nice cream will have a soft serve consistency. If you prefer a more frozen texture, freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Garnish with your favorite toppings like mini chocolate chips, nuts, or even more PB2!
- Make this recipe dairy-free and vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips or omitting them altogether.
- For best results use a very high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix) or a food processor. If it takes longer than 5-7 minutes for your bananas to blend into a smooth puree, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk or milk substitute. Stirring the bananas occasionally with a spatula may also help.
