Difficulty:

• Easy

Ingredients:

• 300 g bananas, sliced and frozen
• 100 g mixed berries, frozen
• 80 g vanilla protein custard powder (whey or plant-based)
• 150 mL unsweetened almond milk

Preparation Steps:

1. Place the frozen banana slices and mixed berries in a food processor or high-powered blender.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve in bowls, garnished with additional berries and a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.
• Enjoy immediately if you enjoy a more soft serve texture, or after 4 hours in the freezer for the more traditional scooped style ice cream.

Variations to Mix it Up:

• Mango Weiss Bar Twist: Substitute bananas with frozen mango chunks and vanilla protein custard powder with coconut-flavoured protein custard powder. Top with a swirl of honey and coconut flakes for that classic Weiss bar experience.
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream: Use chocolate protein custard powder, add in 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter. Mix through a handful of dark chocolate chips after blending for a rich and indulgent flavour.
• Tropical Piña Colada: Combine frozen pineapple with banana, use coconut protein custard powder, and mix in a splash of coconut milk. Garnish with toasted coconut shreds and a pineapple wedge for a tropical treat.

Storage:

• Store the 'Nice' Cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it soften slightly before serving for the best texture.
