- Place the frozen bananas slices, Botanica Perfect Chocolate Protein powder, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a high speed blender. Turn on high speed to turn the fan motor on as well and use tamper to push down the ingredients to form a thick ice cream.
- Using a spatula, scoop out ice cream into a container for freezing.
