Banana cinnamon protein ice cream

Name: Banana cinnamon protein ice cream
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 1 d 10 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 200 g (7 oz) low-fat Greek yogurt; 180 ml (¾ cup) reduced-fat milk; 50 g (1¾ oz) vanilla protein powder; 4 g sugar — less, because the banana already sweetens it; or 1 tsp honey; no added sugar: 10 g erythritol or granulated stevia; 1 tsp ground cinnamon (2 g); salt — a pinch; 1 medium ripe banana, sliced (120 g / 4 oz) — mix-in

Ripe banana flavor with a touch of cinnamon.

Rico's note: Use up the bananas that are starting to turn brown — they sweeten the ice cream almost on their own.

Ingredients

200 g (7 oz) low-fat Greek yogurt
180 ml (¾ cup) reduced-fat milk
50 g (1¾ oz) vanilla protein powder
4 g sugar — less, because the banana already sweetens it; or 1 tsp honey; no added sugar: 10 g erythritol or granulated stevia
1 tsp ground cinnamon (2 g)
salt — a pinch
1 medium ripe banana, sliced (120 g / 4 oz) — mix-in

This recipe uses half the sugar because protein powder is usually sweetened: taste the mix and, if it needs it, add up to 7 g. In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
