Funky Munky Anabolic Ice Cream

The summer is a trying time for dieting and eating clean and one of my all time favourite treats is ice cream. I could eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so I decided to attempt a healthy, muscle building variation of this yummy dessert!



Ingredients:

1 ripe Avocado
1 Banana
1/8 cup Splenda
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop Nutrabolics Isobolic chocolate protein powder
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Chop banana into small pieces and put into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add avocado, milk and vanilla extract and mash with potato masher. 
  3. Add Splenda and protein powder and beat on high with an electric egg beater
  4. Freeze, serve and enjoy!
The fat in avocado is said to help metabolize and burn fat in the body and therefore aids in a leaner body composition!
