HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PROTEIN ICE CREAM!

WITH JUST 2 INGREDIENTS!

Start the machine on Low for a few seconds and then increase to High.  Use the tamper through the lid and press the ingredients into the blades.

In about 30-45 seconds or more (depending on how many bananas are in there), the sound of the motor will change and you will see four mounds form through the bananas.  Stop the Vitamix and…
