Homemade ice cream-- good enough for breakfast

Ice Cream



































I have been testing the recipes of Branden Frazier below is his ice cream recipe that I decided to try. I made it in the evening, left it freeze and I had some for breakfast.. It was very easy to make and it satisfied my hunger, refreshing to have a cold treat for breakfast.

A delicious protein-rich, recovery-boosting treat


INGREDIENTS


1 scoop vanilla alkaline-forming,
plant-based protein powder such
as *Vega Sport Protein Powder
1 banana
1 cup cashews
1 cup water
2 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp almond butter
pinch of sea salt

PROCEDURE

Make the ice cream: blend the cashews, water, banana, protein powder,
agave and vanilla in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl or
Tupperware container, cover, and place in the freezer.


MAKE THE CARAMEL SWIRL


In a small glass, mix the maple syrup, almond butter and a pinch of sea salt
together to form a sauce. After the ice cream has frozen for about an hour
and begun to thicken, fold the sauce into the ice cream – mixing just enough
to form caramel swirls (do not fully incorporate). Place the ice cream back in
the freezer until frozen – about 5 hours. Serves 4-6
