Quick and easy 5-ingredient no-churn ice cream that’s high in protein and tastes so delicious! This vegan protein chocolate ice cream would make an amazing healthier snack or dessert.
We’ve had so many lovely sunny warm days since lockdownbegan, which has been a blessing because I think everyone would have felt somuch worse if the weather was constantly rainy and dreary. On a hot day all Ican think about food wise is something cold and refreshing, usually ice creamof some sort. To satisfy my cravings I’ve been making this protein ice cream ALOT! It helps that it’s so easy to make and that it’s healthier than yourregular shop bought ice cream.
Made using 5 basic ingredients – bananas, coconut milk,cocoa, protein powder and chopped chocolate or chocolate chips for some crunch.The sweetness comes from the banana and the protein powder, but you can addsomething like maple syrup if you would like it a little sweeter. I don’t likemy desserts sickly sweet so this combination turned out perfect for me!
I’ve teamed up withGarden of Lifeagain to create this easy, no-churn and no-fuss 5 ingredient vegan protein chocolate ice cream. The protein powder adds a lot of sweetness without bumping up the added sugar intake and a lovely hint of vanilla, which complements the chocolate so well! As well as not being overly sweet, it also has the right amount of chocolatey goodness to satisfy your chocolate cravings!

As well as being vegan,Garden of Lifevanilla protein powder isalso organic, non-GMOand raw.

It also containsvitamins A, D, E and K –fat soluble vitamins best consumed in a fat containing meal, which thesecookies have from the addition of almond butter.
What I love about Garden of Life vanilla protein powder isthatyou don’t get that strong artificial flavour that you get with manyplant-based protein powders making it perfect to use in desserts. Also, knowingit’s made from high quality organic ingredients without any nasties, extrasugars and additives means I know I’m fuelling my body with what it needswhilst still feeling like I’m enjoying a dessert!
