Peanut Butter Lover’s Ice Cream
Serves 4
My husband and I are HUGE peanut butter fans, so naturally this recipe is a favorite at our house! When he found out that I was making this today, he made a mental note of the exact time and penciled a ?mid-day ice cream date? into his busy list of to-dos! I hope this becomes one of your family favorites as well!
What you will need:
1 cup cottage cheese (I used Daisy brand 2%, fat-free will work too)
2 Tbsp all natural peanut butter
2 Tbsp PB2 powder
? cup unsweetened almond milk, divided
1 frozen banana
? cup vanilla protein powder (optional for flavor)
6 ice cubes
Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Stevia, to taste
1 ice cube tray
High-powered blender
How you make it:
1. Blend cottage cheese, peanut butter, PB2, and about a tablespoon of almond milk together.
2. Pour thick mixture into an ice cube tray. It should fill about 12 cubes.
3. Freeze 4 hours or more.
4. Place frozen cubes, frozen banana, remaining 11 tablespoons of almond milk, protein powder and ice cubes in blender. Blend until smooth. Blend in some stevia if needed for sweetness. Makes 4 servings. Top each serving with a sprinkle of dark chocolate if your heart desires :).
What?s in each of the 4 servings:
About 155 calories; 6.5g fat; 12g carbs; 14g protein

THANK YOU!! i just made this….i don’t know if i can split into 4 portions its that good!!!! amazing!
You can definitely sub the cottage cheese for plain greek yogurt… Ive tried it in the past and it works just as well!!
Yes, you can leave out the PB2 powder. You can just add more peanut butter or just leave it as is. 🙂
Pb2 is at walmart I know. It is dried pb powder you mix with water. This recipe looks awesome, I have lost 16lbs and 16+ inches since 1/14 and this looks delish without the guilt!
What is pb2 ?
