Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas, peeled, sliced and frozen
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • Zest of 1 orange, plus extra for serving
  • 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk of choice, only as needed
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate, optional

Instructions

  • Add the frozen banana slices, protein powder, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, orange zest, 1 tablespoon of orange juice and vanilla to a food processor or high-powered blender.
    Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. This may take a little patience.
    If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a small splash of milk. Add the remaining orange juice gradually, tasting as you go.
    Pulse in the dark chocolate chips, if using, or stir them through for a little crunch.
    Spoon into bowls and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. For firmer scoops, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30–60 minutes, checking the consistency before serving.
    Top with extra orange zest and dark chocolate shavings.
    Recipe Tips
    For extra orange flavour: Add a little more zest rather than too much juice.
    For a dairy-free version: Use dairy-free yogurt, plant-based protein powder and your preferred plant milk.
    For a sweeter taste: Use very ripe bananas or add a little maple syrup to taste.
    For storage: Keep leftovers in a covered freezer-safe container. Allow them to soften at room temperature for several minutes before scooping.
