Cookies & Creamy Nice Cream
A cold bowl of ice cream with cookies and cream on a hot day (or any day, really!) sounds like heaven, but it’s not a great treat when you’re trying to keep your nutrition on point.
Lucky for you, we came up with this easy, delicious Shakeology “nice cream” recipe that’s delicious and will help you stay on track year-round!
The secret to any nice cream recipe? Frozen bananas.
Then we added Cookies & Creamy Shakeology, almond milk, and vanilla extract for light, sweet flavor.
Pro tips:
- If you don’t have frozen bananas on hand, peel a banana and cut into chunks. Place in a resealable plastic bag; freeze overnight, or for at least 4 hours until completely frozen, before use. Use an overripe banana for the best flavor.
- This amount of ingredients may not blend smoothly in larger food processors. For best results, make 4 servings at once. Store leftovers as recommended in the freezer.
And if you love this nice cream recipe, keep scrolling to get a bonus version that includes maple syrup and cacao nibs!
