PROTEIN ICE CREAM
 
Ingredients
 

• 1 Banana [frozen] (freeze without peel)
• 300 grams Low-fat Cottage Cheese
• 2 scoops (54 grams approx.) Banana Flavoured Protein Powder

Instructions
 

• Using a food processor, handheld blender, or mixer, blend all ingredients together. Don't use a whisk or spoon because the aim is to end up with a mixture that's creamy, not lumpy.
• Place the mixture in a Tupperware container and stick it in the freezer for an hour.
• After an hour, remove the container and give the ice cream a good stir. You want to make sure that it freezes evenly.
• Put container back in the freezer. Wait for another hour before taking it out and giving it another churn.
• Repeat steps three and four until the ice cream is nicely set

 
This recipe works best with casein or protein blends it makes the ice cream even creamier.
If you use other types of protein, you may have to add a couple of tablespoons of milk to the mix if it's too thick.
 
I use either vanilla or banana flavour protein.
