Peppermint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

by Angela Simpson

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 0 mins (4-6 hours freezing)

Ingredients (2 servings)

3 frozen bananas, peeled

1/2 scoop vanilla Vega Performance Protein (optional – you can leave this out if you prefer and just add a little more vanilla extract. The protein makes this an extra delish post-workout treat!)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 drops peppermint extract

just enough unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk to blend

30g high quality dark chocolate (I used Vega Maca Chocolate)

Instructions

Put everything except the dark chocolate into the blender and blend until smooth, adding a little bit of liquid at a time as needed. If you’re using a , I find it helps to use the damper stick in order to stir things around. This helps to reduce the amount of liquid you need to get it all moving.

Transfer the banana mixture to a freezer-safe bowl. Coarsely chop the chocolate and stir it in.

Seal the container and freeze for 4-6 hours.

Scoop into bowls and serve topped with additional chopped dark chocolate, crushed candy cane or your favourite nuts.
