Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets (optional, for thickness)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or less, for thicker consistency)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for extra thickness)
- Toppings: fresh berries, granola, chia seeds
Instructions
- Place the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, almond milk, and almond butter into a high-powered blender.
- Add the xanthan gum, if using.
- Start blending on low, using the tamper tool to push the ingredients toward the blades. Add only tiny amounts of extra liquid if the blender stalls completely.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and very thick, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
- Scoop the thick mixture into a bowl.
- Arrange your desired toppings over the base.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use only frozen fruit for the best thick texture. If your fruit is not frozen, add 4-5 ice cubes.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
- To prevent melting, prepare your toppings before blending the base.
