HEALTHY HIGH PROTEIN COOKIES AND CREAM ICE CREAM

Happy Friday, folks!

I’m so excited for today’s recipe! As mentioned in this post, as of this month, TBMW will be welcoming regular contributors on here! To kick this par-tay off, I’m stoked to introduce you guys to Natalie, who blogs over at Feasting on Fruit.

I’ve been a long-time fan of Natalie’s dietary lifestyle and recipes, which I find incredibly fascinating and delicious. In fact, she’s inspired me to try spending a day or two eating higher carb/lower fat. I actually think it was when she posted this recipe a few weeks back that got me drooooooooling and inspired. (I just realised it’s not fruit and not sweet…the horrors).

3 Ingredient No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream (Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free)


***

Hi new friends! And probably a few old friends. I’m so very happy to be here chatting with you right now (thanks Arman!!), and I did not come empty handed. Nope, I came with ice cream to share. So let’s get to it before it melts!

I wouldn’t be true to my name if I didn’t start off with a fruit-based recipe. And I wouldn’t be true to my love of chocolate if there wasn’t some of that involved too. And we all love cookies, yes? Well, then Cookies and Cream Nicecream was the only logical way to go.

Let’s start with the cookie part. Cookies and cream is nothing without crunchy chocolate cookie pieces. Emphasis on the CRUNCHY. No soft, soggy, more-like-mush cookie pieces allowed. It’s not called Chocolate Blobs and Cream is it? (Not that I wouldn’t eat it if it was, I mean come on it’s still chocolate + ice cream.)

But I have a 3-ingredient chocolate cookie crumble recipe that is heavy on crunch factor and ridiculously easy at the same time. Ten minutes in the oven, a little time to cool, and some crumbling is all it takes.

During the cooling time, you might find yourself highly tempted to just stop, leave the bananas in the freezer, and gobble up all the cookie morsels. But power through with me peeps there is ice cream to be had.

With homemade cookie chunks you can make them minuscule or massive, whatever you want your ice cream-hungry spoon to encounter while traversing through this chilly treat.

The cream part is just banana ice cream with vanilla extract or even vanilla bean powder if you want to be fancy about it. Or if you really want to up the creaminess and give those blended bananas some extra body, a scoop of vanilla protein powder is pretty yummy in there too.

You can blend, mix-in, and eat straight from the blender (or food processor) for minimal clean up. Or plop it all into a plastic bag and serve up a tall swirly bowl like this one!

EDITOR’S NOTES-
FOR MY PALEO FRIENDS- I tried this out using this paleo protein powder to see if my paleo friends could enjoy the protein boost- It DOES work, however, I found I needed to add a little bit of dairy-free milk to loosen up. I also would recommend crumbling some of these paleo Nutella cookies over, for some cookie crunch action!
