Ingredients
  

  • Frozen bananas (2–3 medium, sliced before freezing)
  • Vanilla protein shake (about 1 cup/240 ml; choose low-calorie, high-protein)

Method
 

  1. Prep your bananas. Slice ripe bananas and freeze them in a single layer until solid. Store in a freezer-safe bag. This prevents clumping and makes blending easier.
  2. Measure your base. Add 2 cups of frozen banana slices to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Pour in protein. Add 3/4 to 1 cup of vanilla protein shake. Start with less; you can always add more for a softer texture.
  4. Blend. Pulse to break up chunks, then blend on medium, scraping down the sides as needed. Aim for a thick, smooth, soft-serve consistency.
  5. Adjust texture. If it’s too thick, add a splash more protein shake. If it’s too soft, blend in a few extra frozen banana slices or pop the mixture into the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Taste and tweak. For extra flavor, blend in a pinch of salt, a splash of vanilla, or a teaspoon of cocoa powder. Keep it simple to stay low-calorie.
  7. Serve. Scoop into bowls and enjoy right away for soft-serve, or transfer to a loaf pan, cover, and freeze 30–60 minutes for a firmer scoop.
