Nutrient Breakdown
Bananas - are a great source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, copper, and manganese. In addition, they are loaded with fiber that acts as a prebiotic in your gut – helping to support a healthy microbiome.
Hazelnut butter - Hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E, healthy fats, and fibre - making hazelnut butter great for supporting brain health! They are also a great source of protein, providing 4.2 g of protein per serving (2 tbsp).
Cocoa powder - is a great source of minerals such as magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and zinc. In addition, cocoa powder is high in antioxidants including polyphenols!
Tips for Success
- For less sweetness, use slightly green (less ripe) bananas. For more sweetness, use spotty, ripe bananas!
- Slice bananas before freezing to make blending easier.
- If your blender is having trouble with the thick texture, allow the banana to thaw for 5 minutes before making the nice cream. Alternatively, you can add a splash (1 tbsp) of plant-based milk
- Freeze leftovers (if you have any - you probably won’t because it’s so delicious!) in a covered silicone mold. When ready to enjoy, you can pop the nice cream out of the mold and blend it again for that delicious soft-serve consistency - or enjoy as is, if you prefer a thicker (more frozen) consistency.
