Vegan Chocolate Banana High-Protein ‘Ice Cream’

April 12, 2016

Vegan Chocolate Banana High-Protein 'Ice Cream'

I’ll admit, I have a sweet tooth, and my ultimate weakness is ice cream (it’s been my kryptonite since I was a kid).  But there’s only so much real ice cream that I can eat in good conscience! I’m forever on the hunt for things that will satisfy my craving for something sweet but also give me some nutrition at the same time.

I work out regularly, including throughout my pregnancy, and it’s important to me that I have something quick, healthy and yummy for a post-workout snack that includes some protein and carbs for recovery (Note: the optimal ratio is 2:1 carbs to protein for a post-workout snack, best consumed within 30 minutes of working out).

Vegan Chocolate Banana High-Protein 'Ice Cream' and protein powder

This chocolate banana ice cream covers all the bases.  Smooth, chocolaty and absolutely delicious, it truly doesn’t taste as crazy healthy as it is!  The best part is that each serving has over 10g of vegan protein.

There are so many options when it comes to protein powder, it’s a bit mind boggling to be honest.  I’m not vegan, but we are trying very hard in our family to eat as many plant-based foods as possible and reduce our animal product consumption, which makes a vegan protein powder a good fit.  Of course, many people are vegan, in which case this Fermented Vegan Proteins + protein powder is an awesome choice.  Genuine Health uses wholesome ingredients and takes this protein powder a step further with adding in the fermentation process. This fermentation helps improve digestion and absorption, reducing any bloating symptoms that people often experience with vegetable protein powders.  It’s also non-GMO and gluten free.

I hope you love this ‘nice cream’ as much as I did, it was such a huge hit in our house!  If you want to get the swirled look, simply put the blended ice cream in a piping bag fitted with a large fluted tip and swirl away.  All you need to make this is a good blender or a hand-held blender with a mini food processor attachment.

Vegan Chocolate Banana High-Protein 'Ice Cream' preparation

Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 scoop Genuine Health Natural Chocolate Fermented Vegan Proteins +
  • 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1/4 c. coconut milk

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients together in a good blender or a mini food processor (can’t live without one of these!) until smooth.  Serve immediately.  If you are feeling fancy you can put the ‘ice cream’ into piping bag fitted with a larger tip and pipe it into your serving dishes.

      Hi Ariana,
      It sounds delicious but I don’t think it was my snap that you saw it on as I didn’t make this. Maybe the fabulous Erin Ireland’s? Good luck and happy cooking! Tori

    Hi Tori, I love your recipes and as a bonus many are a big hit with my kiddos! (I have a 3 yo boy and 9 mo twin girls). What do you think about giving protein mix to kids?

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort

I don’t do resolutions but love having a word to guide my year - I’m having a hard time picking just one this year. I think I got this idea from my friend @jenniferwilson.co ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While being focussed and more organized is always on my list, they don’t really seem to feel right.  With the boys growing so quickly and the reality of aging sinking in, especially with my dad having Alzheimer’s, I feel that time has never been more precious. I’m always finding myself trying to fit one more chore in or sneak in that extra email ... but really, why?  This will be the year of more snuggles for me, more campfires, glasses of wine with my loved ones over good food ... more memories. I worry that one day soon Charlie won’t want to snuggle me and it breaks my heart. 

I took a break from being on IG stories over the holidays and it was such a gift - I love being on the platform but there sure is a balance between being ‘on’ and being present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I think this year my word will be FAMILY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would your ONE word be this year??
