Banana Ice Cream

Okay, this is an awesome recipe!  It is totally healthy, and is not really made of ice cream... yet you will be blown away by how much like ice cream it really is!

Ingredients
One ripe banana diced and frozen
1 oz Cream Cheese frozen
1 scoop vanilla protein powder


Prepare before hand, the banana and cream cheese.  Make sure the banana is very ripe, like you would use for banana bread.  Be sure to use freezer bags for the bananas to help prevent them from turning brown.  I found 1 oz single serving packets of cream cheese at our local Sam's Club, and I just keep all of them in the freezer so they are ready to use.


After both items are frozen, put them in a food processor with a scoop of vanilla protein powder.  Begin to chop and grind until smooth.  Stir and scrape as needed.  



The mixture will take on the texture of ice cream.  Put it in a bowl and eat your full meal complete with protein, carb, and healthy fat!  Not to mention how filling it is!


This is one of my absolute favorite meals!  Give it a try!  you'll be hooked!

Note:  If you do not want to use cream cheese and protein powder, you can just use the bananas alone and get the same affect.

Happy losing!
