A light, fruity and filling ice cream for summer. The frozen fruit provides both the chill and the creamy texture, while the protein powder turns the bowl into a proper snack. It takes a little effort, but it is a great method if you do not own an ice cream maker.
Method
If your blender has no ice-crushing function, break the ice cubes into smaller pieces first.
Add the frozen banana, blueberries, raspberries, oats, chia seeds, ice and protein powder to the blender.
Add the milk gradually, using only enough to keep the blades turning.
Blend briefly for the first stage.
Open the lid and stir the thickening mixture well with a spoon.
Blend again for the second stage until smooth.
Scoop into a bowl and serve immediately.

Tips
- If it turns out runnier than you like, use less ice or milk next time.
- With an ice cream maker you can put the ingredients straight into the machine without leaving them overnight.
- The protein powder is optional, but leaving it out drops the protein considerably.
FAQ
Can I make it without an ice cream maker?
Yes. A strong blender, two rounds of blending and a stir with a spoon in between are enough.
