Reflections

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

What is more satisfying than hitting your protein goals in the form of ice cream? This recipe is one of my favourite flavour combinations: chocolate, peanut butter, and banana. Despite a strong protein powder taste, this pint was very delicious.

The Good (what went well):

• The final texture was creamy: Despite what the instructions say, if the first spin is too powdery, then re-spinning before mix-ins help to create a smoother texture.
• The nuts were evenly incorporated: Make a well for the mix-ins.

The Bad (lessons learned):

• Protein powder aftertaste: Add in stronger flavours (e.g. sweetner, cocoa, peanut butter) to mask the taste.
• The powders stuck to the bottom of the pint: Pour in some liquids before powder.
