Vegan Cherry Protein Ice Cream Recipe
Stay Cool and Satisfied With This 5-Minute Vegan Protein-Packed Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream
Although thankfully there are a gazillion different vegan ice creams available nowadays, and you can even find dairy-free options at local ice cream shops, a lot of them still contain a lot of sugar. If you want naturally-sweetened frozen treat that tastes just as luscious as ice cream, make this cherry "nice" cream.
Made with just four ingredients — frozen cherries, frozen banana, unsweetened vanilla soymilk and plant-based protein powder — this treat comes together in about five minutes and tastes so fresh, creamy, and sweet, you'll want to make it again and again.
