Protein Ice Cream

gluten-free, refined-sugar free, vegan snack/dessert

I eat a lot of frozen smoothies while I'm at school because they're a great way to add more protein and extra veggies to my diet. Finally perfected my favorite recipe, so I thought I'd add it to my blog for easy access.

This recipe has no protein powder, only whole ingredients. Personally, I'm not a fan of protein powders on a daily basis because it's hard to tell if what the nutrient label and ingredients list say are accurate. Most protein powders taste too articifically sweet and flavored for my taste. If you do choose to use protein powder, please be sure to research the brand and product specifically to make sure you know what your buying.

Now for the recipe!
