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
