Banana walnut chocolate protein ice cream

Servings: 2 (1 serving = ½ pint)

Ingredients:

1 large ripe banana

1 cup whole milk (or unsweetened almond/oat milk for dairy-free)

1 scoop vanilla or banana protein powder. You can find both flavors here on Amazon, Legion makes great clean grass fed whey without the sugar.

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (for Mix-In)

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (for Mix-In)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Pinch of salt

Place banana chunks in the bottom of your Ninja Creami pint container. Mash well with a fork until mostly smooth.
Add milk, protein powder, vanilla extract (if using), and salt directly to the pint. Stir or whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Secure the lid and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours, or until completely solid.
Remove from the freezer, take off the lid, and process in the Ninja Creami using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream” setting.
If the texture is crumbly, add a splash of milk and run the Re-Spin cycle until creamy.
After the first spin, dig a hole in the center of the ice cream and add the chocolate chips and walnuts. Use the “Mix-In” function to blend in the chunky bits.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed Chunky Monkey treat!
